FoxCMS is a commonly used content management system that allows users to easily manage website content and design with an intuitive interface. It is implemented by small to medium-sized businesses to establish a strong online presence without necessitating significant technical expertise. The software enables website customization through themes and plugins, providing flexibility to meet diverse business requirements. Users can manage media, blog posts, and pages efficiently, all from a centralized dashboard. The tool is frequently deployed on web hosting platforms and supports multiple user accounts with different permission levels. Its deployment is often assisted by third-party developers who adapt the system for client-specific needs.
Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a critical vulnerability allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on a server, leading to severe security breaches. It usually occurs when untrusted input reaches code execution functions without adequate validation or escaping. This could enable compromise of sensitive data and systems by leveraging specific inputs to run harmful commands. RCE vulnerabilities can damage reputations, result in financial losses, and lead to unauthorized access to critical systems. Such vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass standard authentication mechanisms, underscoring the importance of patching and stringent input validation practices. RCE vulnerabilities are especially dangerous because they can provide attackers with administrator-level privileges.
The Remote Code Execution vulnerability in FoxCMS v.1.2.5 is due to insufficient sanitization of the 'id' parameter in the 'index.html' component of the product. The flaw can be exploited by crafting malicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint, typically using GET methods. Vulnerable endpoints are typically accessed via URLs with payloads that instruct the server to execute arbitrary commands. An attacker can leverage this weakness to execute shell commands, gain unauthorized data access, or manipulate server functionality. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to invoke backdoor commands, potentially compromising the server environment. Such flaws highlight the need for strict access controls and regular vulnerability assessments in websites running FoxCMS.
The exploitation of this vulnerability can have dire consequences, including unauthorized server access, data breaches, and control over the web server itself. Malicious actors can execute commands to gain further system access or pivot within the network, compromising additional assets. Business continuity may be significantly impacted, with potential service downtime and disruption to legitimate users. Additionally, data integrity might be compromised, leading to reputational damage and legal penalties for failing to protect sensitive information. Exploit incidents can also damage client trust and lead to substantial financial ramifications, emphasizing the critical need for ongoing security monitoring and prompt patch management.
