Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Opensource workshop/connect cms, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

# Security Advisory — Code Study Plugin ## Summary An authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code in the Code Study Plugin. ## Affected Versions - 1.x series: <= 1.41.0 - 2.x series: <= 2.41.0 ## Patched Versions - 1.41.1 - 2.41.1 ## Description In the Code Study Plugin, an authenticated user could trigger unintended code execution. If exploited, it may lead to code execution on the server or information disclosure. Users affected by this vulnerability should update to a fixed version. ## Solution Update to the fixed version. For the 1.x series, update to 1.41.1 or later. For the 2.x series, update to 2.41.1 or later. ## Credits OpenSource WorkShop thanks **Sho Odagiri** (小田切 祥) of **GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc.** for reporting this vulnerability.
