How to Fix CVE-2023-48652

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Concrete5/concrete5 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

concrete5/concrete5 fixed: 9.2.3 
Upgrade concrete5/concrete5 to 9.2.3
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 concrete5/concrete5

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-48652, inspect your project dependencies for Concrete5/concrete5:

inspect dependencies for concrete5/concrete5

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Concrete5/concrete5 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 9.2.3), 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 CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Concrete5/concrete5, 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

Concrete CMS 9 before 9.2.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) via `/ccm/system/dialogs/logs/delete_all/submit`. An attacker can force an admin user to delete server report logs on a web application to which they are currently authenticated.
