AdaptCMS v3.0.3: When Themes Get a Little Too Personal with PHP!
In an AdaptCMSv3.0.3 exploit, the theme goes from “Add New File” to “Add New Problems” faster than a cat video goes viral! Learn how an authenticated file upload can unleash RCE chaos, proving once again that with great power comes great potential for hilarity.
Hot Take:
Oh, AdaptCMS, you’ve done it again! It seems like the “Theme Files” section of your site is now a playground for wannabe hackers. Forget hacking your way through a maze of firewalls; all it takes is logging in as an admin, a little PHP, and voila, you’ve got yourself a shiny new Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. It’s like leaving the backdoor open for a party you didn’t even invite yourself to. Maybe it’s time to adapt your CMS…pun intended!
Key Points:
- AdaptCMS version 3.0.3 is vulnerable to authenticated file upload leading to RCE.
- Exploiting this vulnerability requires admin access to the CMS.
- The attack involves uploading a PHP file disguised as a theme asset.
- Once uploaded, the PHP file can be executed remotely, granting full system access.
- The exploit was tested on Debian 12 with PHP version 5.6.40.
