Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
baserCMS is a website development framework. Prior to version 5.2.3, baserCMS has an OS command injection vulnerability in the installer. This issue has been patched in version 5.2.3.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in baserCMS installer prior to version 5.2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands during the installation process. The vulnerability exists in the installer component and has been patched in version 5.2.3. Attack complexity appears low given the installer context, though CVSS metrics are unavailable for detailed severity assessment.
Technical ContextAI
baserCMS is a PHP-based website development framework. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), indicating that user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to OS command execution functions (such as exec(), system(), or shell_exec() in PHP). The installer component fails to validate or escape special shell metacharacters, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary commands. This is a classic command injection flaw where unsanitized input intended as data is interpreted as executable code by the shell.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: baserCMS version 5.2.3 or later. Organizations running baserCMS should immediately upgrade to version 5.2.3 or newer. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict access to the installer to trusted networks and disable or remove the installer once initial deployment is complete. Consult the official security advisories at https://github.com/baserproject/basercms/security/advisories/GHSA-6hpg-8rx3-cwgv and https://basercms.net/security/JVN_20837860 for additional mitigation guidance.
