How to Fix GHSA-qhjc-hg94-245v

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ezsystems/ezplatform dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

ezsystems/ezplatform fixed: 2.5.4 
Upgrade ezsystems/ezplatform to 2.5.4
ezsystems/ezplatform fixed: 1.13.5.1 
Upgrade ezsystems/ezplatform to 1.13.5.1
ezsystems/ezplatform fixed: 1.7.9.1 
Upgrade ezsystems/ezplatform to 1.7.9.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for ezsystems/ezplatform

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-qhjc-hg94-245v, inspect your project dependencies for Ezsystems/ezplatform:

inspect dependencies for ezsystems/ezplatform

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ezsystems/ezplatform in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.4), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Ezsystems/ezplatform, 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

The recommended rewrite rules in eZ Platform prevent users from including the front-controller script (normally "app.php") in URLs. This prevents certain vulnerabilities related to caching. However, this is not possible when using eZ Platform Cloud (i.e. running eZ Platform on the Platform.sh cloud service), nor can it be done within the .platform.app.yaml configuration file. Therefore we need to reject such requests in the application itself. This advisory adds the prevention within the front controller script itself. If you use eZ Platform Cloud / Platform.sh we recommend that you install this security update as soon as possible. It is distributed via Composer as ezsystems/ezplatform 1.7.9.1, and 1.13.5.1, and 2.5.4. This is the commit: https://github.com/ezsystems/ezplatform/commit/34ce86722b36a172e587068fe64a84faa7320cc2
