DescriptionCVE.org

REDAXO is a PHP-based content management system. From 5.18.2 until 5.21.1, rex_mediapool::isAllowedExtension in redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/lib/mediapool.php lets an authenticated backend user with media[upload] permission upload a JPEG/PHP polyglot named shell.php.any.jpg, which web servers with multi-extension PHP handlers can execute as the web-server user. This issue is fixed in version 5.21.1.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in REDAXO CMS versions 5.18.2 through 5.21.0 is reachable by authenticated backend users with media upload permissions via a multi-segment filename bypass (e.g., shell.php.any.jpg) that defeats the extension blocklist in rex_mediapool::isAllowedExtension. The flaw is a confirmed regression introduced in PR #6213 (February 2025), which replaced a historically correct str_contains guard with weaker str_ends_with logic, reintroducing a double-extension attack class that the codebase had explicitly defended against since 2018. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain backend account with media[upload] permission
Delivery
Craft JPEG/PHP polyglot named shell.php.any.jpg
Exploit
Upload via media pool - isAllowedExtension str_ends_with checks pass
Execution
File stored in public media/ directory
Persist
Send HTTP GET to /media/shell.php.any.jpg
Impact
Apache multi-extension handler executes embedded PHP as web-server user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three conditions must simultaneously be true for exploitation to succeed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 7.5 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is independently defensible. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker holding a REDAXO backend account with media[upload] permission crafts a JPEG/PHP polyglot - a valid JPEG file with embedded PHP code - and names it shell.php.any.jpg, then uploads it through the media pool UI; the isAllowedExtension check passes because the terminal extension is jpg and neither str_ends_with check matches the three-segment pattern. On an Apache server configured with AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php, the attacker then sends an HTTP GET request to the public URL /media/shell.php.any.jpg, which Apache routes to the PHP interpreter due to the intermediate .php segment, executing the embedded PHP payload as the web-server user. …
Remediation Upgrade REDAXO Core to version 5.21.1, available at https://github.com/redaxo/core/releases/tag/5.21.1; the fix commit is 462e36896bb65d292ba22d711044c23c9cfb0340 (https://github.com/redaxo/core/commit/462e36896bb65d292ba22d711044c23c9cfb0340). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
