PHP vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2022-25769 affects Mautic versions prior to 3.3.5 and 4.2.0. The vulnerability was discovered in the default .htaccess file configuration where restrictions on PHP file execution in the root of the application were improperly implemented. The issue was disclosed on February 28, 2022, and has been assigned a moderate severity rating (GitHub Advisory).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from an incorrect regex implementation in the second FilesMatch directive within the .htaccess file. The regex only validates the filename without considering the full path, creating a security weakness. This issue has been classified under CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) (GitHub Advisory).
Impact
The improper regex implementation in the .htaccess file could potentially allow unauthorized execution of PHP files in the application, bypassing intended access restrictions (GitHub Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are advised to upgrade to Mautic versions 3.3.5 or 4.2.0 which contain the security fix. No alternative workarounds have been provided (Mautic Blog).
