Administrator code execution via Twig settings template
Published Jun 13, 2023 · Updated Jan 3, 2025
Server-side template injection in Craft CMS 3.7.59 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through User Photo Location settings. The setting evaluates administrator-supplied Twig expressions rather than treating the field solely as literal path data. Exploitation requires administrator access and enabled administrative changes; the vendor considers the behavior intentional and the reported security impact invalid.
