How to Fix CVE-2024-47051

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

mautic/core fixed: 5.2.3 
Upgrade mautic/core to 5.2.3
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 mautic/core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-47051, inspect your project dependencies for Mautic/core:

inspect dependencies for mautic/core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mautic/core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.2.3), 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-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 Mautic/core, 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

### Summary This advisory addresses two critical security vulnerabilities present in Mautic versions before 5.2.3. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by authenticated users. * **Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Asset Upload:** A Remote Code Execution vulnerability has been identified in the asset upload functionality. Insufficient enforcement of allowed file extensions allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload executable files, such as PHP scripts. * **Path Traversal File Deletion:** A Path Traversal vulnerability exists in the upload validation process. Due to improper handling of path components, an authenticated user can manipulate the file deletion process to delete arbitrary files on the host system. ### Mitigation Please update to 5.2.3 or later. ### Workarounds None ### References https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Code_Injection https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Path_Traversal If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: Email us at [security@mautic.org](mailto:security@mautic.org)
