Description
baserCMS is a website development framework. Prior to version 5.2.3, a path traversal vulnerability exists in the theme file management API (/baser/api/admin/bc-theme-file/theme_files/add.json) that allows arbitrary file write. An authenticated administrator can include ../ sequences in the path parameter to create a PHP file in an arbitrary directory outside the theme directory, which may result in remote code execution (RCE). This issue has been patched in version 5.2.3.
Analysis
Authenticated path traversal in baserCMS theme file management API (versions prior to 5.2.3) enables arbitrary file write, allowing administrators to create malicious PHP files outside the theme directory and achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability (CWE-22) requires high privileges (PR:H) but has low attack complexity (AC:L) with network access (AV:N). …
