CVE-2022-25768Network attack vector

Unauthenticated upgrade execution via trusted cookie state

Published Sep 18, 2024 · Updated Sep 19, 2024

Improper access control in Mautic 1.1.3 through 4.4.12 and 5.0.0 through 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute upgrade steps. SecurityController::loginAction trusts the attacker-controlled mautic_update cookie and forwards clearCache or schemaMigration states directly to database-migration or update-finalization actions. No authentication is required; crafted requests can disclose the installed version or run upgrade operations that alter data or interrupt service.
