DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Magento Long Term Support (LTS) is an unofficial, community-driven project provides an alternative to the Magento Community Edition e-commerce platform with a high level of backward compatibility. Prior to version 20.17.0, the product custom option file upload in OpenMage LTS uses an incomplete blocklist (forbidden_extensions = php,exe) to prevent dangerous file uploads. This blocklist can be trivially bypassed by using alternative PHP-executable extensions such as .phtml, .phar, .php3, .php4, .php5, .php7, and .pht. Files are stored in the publicly accessible media/custom_options/quote/ directory, which lacks server-side execution restrictions for some configurations, enabling Remote Code Execution if this directory is not explicitly denied script execution. Version 20.17.0 patches the issue.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in OpenMage Magento LTS versions before 20.17.0 allows authenticated attackers to upload executable PHP files through product custom options by bypassing an incomplete file extension blocklist. The vulnerability exists because the upload filter only blocks .php and .exe extensions, permitting alternative PHP-executable extensions like .phtml, .phar, .php3-.php7, and .pht. Uploaded files land in the publicly accessible media/custom_options/quote/ directory, enabling code execution on servers without explicit script execution restrictions. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but public disclosure via GitHub Security Advisory increases exploitation likelihood. EPSS data not provided.

Technical ContextAI

OpenMage Magento LTS is a community-maintained fork of Magento 1.x Community Edition, continuing support after Adobe's end-of-life. The vulnerability stems from CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) in the product custom options module. This module allows merchants to configure customizable product options, including file uploads from customers. The implementation uses a hardcoded blocklist approach (forbidden_extensions = php,exe) rather than a secure allowlist. PHP web servers commonly recognize multiple file extensions as executable beyond .php, including legacy extensions (.php3, .php4, .php5, .php7), template extensions (.phtml), archive extensions (.phar), and alternative extensions (.pht). When Apache or nginx is configured with handlers for these extensions, uploaded files execute server-side. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:openmage:magento-lts) confirms this targets the OpenMage fork specifically, not Adobe's current Magento 2.x platform despite the 'Adobe' tag.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to OpenMage Magento LTS version 20.17.0 or later, which replaces the incomplete extension blocklist with comprehensive file upload validation per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/security/advisories/GHSA-3j5q-7q7h-2hhv. If immediate patching is impossible, implement compensating controls: (1) Configure web server to deny script execution in media/custom_options/quote/ directory by adding .htaccess rules for Apache (php_flag engine off) or nginx location block (location ~* ^/media/custom_options/quote/ { deny all; }), which prevents execution but breaks legitimate file downloads for customers; (2) Restrict product custom option file upload functionality to trusted admin users only, disabling customer-facing file uploads entirely, which eliminates the feature's business value; (3) Implement Web Application Firewall rules blocking requests to media/custom_options/quote/*.(phtml|phar|php3|php4|php5|php7|pht), though sophisticated attackers may bypass with double extensions or null-byte injection. All workarounds have significant operational trade-offs compared to patching.
