Sitecore Security Snafu: Unpacking the Unauthenticated Vulnerability Comedy
Searchlight Cyber’s recent discovery showcases a Sitecore vulnerability that doesn’t need authentication and involves a quirky custom header. It’s like finding out your CMS is essentially a digital bouncer that forgot to check IDs at the door. If Sitecore were a nightclub, you’d be in without a cover charge.
Hot Take:
Sitecore’s vulnerability is like finding a surprise jalapeño in your sandwich—unexpected, spicy, and likely to make you sweat. Thanks to Searchlight Cyber, we’ve got the scoop, though it seems Sitecore didn’t get the memo that “thrilling” is not a desirable feature for vulnerabilities. Maybe they should stick to content management and leave the excitement to Netflix?
Key Points:
- Searchlight Cyber reveals a new deserialization vulnerability in Sitecore.
- The vulnerability doesn’t require authentication and can lead to remote code execution.
- It exploits the “thumbnailsaccesstoken” header using the BinaryFormatter class.
- Microsoft previously warned against using BinaryFormatter with untrusted input.
- Sitecore patched the vulnerability in January, but post-patch sniffing detected similar exploit attempts.
