{"id":"CVE-2023-44382","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-44382","summary":"October CMS safe mode bypass using Twig sandbox escape","details":"### Impact\n\nAn authenticated backend user with the `editor.cms_pages`, `editor.cms_layouts`, or `editor.cms_partials` permissions who would normally not be permitted to provide PHP code to be executed by the CMS due to `cms.safe_mode` being enabled can write specific Twig code to escape the Twig sandbox and execute arbitrary PHP.\n\nThis is not a problem for anyone who trusts their users with those permissions to usually write and manage PHP within the CMS by not having `cms.safe_mode` enabled. Still, it would be a problem for anyone relying on `cms.safe_mode` to ensure that users with those permissions in production do not have access to write and execute arbitrary PHP.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis issue has been patched in v3.4.15.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nAs a workaround, remove the specified permissions from untrusted users.\n\n### References\n\nCredits to:\n- [Vasiliy Bodrov](https://github.com/whatev3n)\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Email us at [hello@octobercms.com](mailto:hello@octobercms.com)","published":"2023-11-29T21:33:21Z","modified":"2023-12-04T15:18:39Z","cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":{"score":0.00873,"percentile":0.5657,"asOf":"2026-09-06"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"october/system","fixedVersion":"3.4.15"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/octobercms/october/security/advisories/GHSA-p8q3-h652-65vx"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-44382"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/octobercms/october"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2023-12-04T15:18:39Z"}}
