Unauthenticated remote code execution in Ignition

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 29, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

composer facade/ignition (Composer)

Affected versions

>= 2.5.0, < 2.5.2
>= 2.0.0, < 2.4.2
>= 1.7.0, < 1.16.14
< 1.6.15

Patched versions

2.5.2
2.4.2
1.16.14
1.6.15

Description

Ignition before 2.5.2, as used in Laravel and other products, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because of insecure usage of file_get_contents() and file_put_contents(). This is exploitable on sites using debug mode with Laravel before 8.4.2.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
