Summary

The Crayons plugin for SPIP before 3.5.0 contains a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in crayons_store.php. An unauthenticated remote attacker can modify editable object fields by omitting the secu_ anti-forgery parameter, because the authorization dispatcher resolves an unconditionally true handler. The attacker can chain this to write a malicious .html skeleton file, read files that hold the site secret, and forge a signed ajax context to run the uploaded skeleton, which gives arbitrary PHP code execution as the web server user.

Description from the CNA

The Crayons plugin for SPIP before 3.5.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary editable object fields by omitting the secu_ anti-forgery parameter in crayons_store.php, causing the authorization dispatcher to resolve an unconditionally-true handler instead of the proper modification check. Attackers can chain this flaw to write a malicious .html skeleton file, disclose sensitive configuration files containing the site secret, and forge a signed ajax context to execute the uploaded skeleton, achieving arbitrary PHP code execution as the web-server user.
