CVE-2019-10068

CriticalCVSS 9.8KEV
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Kentico 12.0.x before 12.0.15, 11.0.x before 11.0.48, 10.0.x before 10.0.52, and 9.x versions, missing validation of security headers allows bypassing authentication in the staging service and deserializing user-controlled .NET objects. This leads to unauthenticated remote code execution on the server hosting Kentico.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can fully compromise the server running Kentico, potentially leading to data theft, system integrity compromise, and service disruption.

Recommendation

Upgrade Kentico to version 12.0.15, 11.0.48, 10.0.52, or later. Restrict access to the staging service to trusted networks only.

Original NVD description (English source)

An issue was discovered in Kentico 12.0.x before 12.0.15, 11.0.x before 11.0.48, 10.0.x before 10.0.52, and 9.x versions. Due to a failure to validate security headers, it was possible for a specially crafted request to the staging service to bypass the initial authentication and proceed to deserialize user-controlled .NET object input. This deserialization then led to unauthenticated remote code execution on the server where the Kentico instance was hosted.
