CVE-2026-54182

HighCVSS 8.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In backpack/crud before 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, and 7.0.36, Backpack\CRUD\Stats::makeCurlRequest builds a shell command with a URL influenced by the HTTP Host header and passes it to exec() without adequate shell neutralization. An unauthenticated attacker can inject OS commands when exec() and curl are available and the 1-in-100 random gate is reached (repeated requests can hit it). Successful exploitation executes commands as the web-server user.

Risk Assessment

Can expose environment secrets, files, and reachable services and permit data modification or service disruption. Reverse-proxy Host validation and disabling exec() reduce reachability but do not correct the vulnerable construction.

Recommendation

Update backpack/crud to version 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, or 7.0.36 (or later). Additionally consider disabling exec() in PHP and enforcing Host header validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. Prior to 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, and 7.0.36, Backpack\CRUD\Stats::makeCurlRequest in src/Stats.php is reached from BackpackServiceProvider::boot() and constructs a shell command with a URL influenced by the HTTP Host header, which it passes to exec() without adequate shell neutralization. An unauthenticated attacker whose malformed Host value reaches PHP can inject operating-system commands when exec() and curl are available and the 1-in-100 random gate is reached. Repeated requests can reach the random gate. Successful exploitation executes commands as the web-server user, exposing environment secrets, files, and reachable services and permitting data modification or service disruption. Common reverse-proxy Host validation and hardened PHP configurations that disable exec() reduce reachability but do not correct the vulnerable construction. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, and 7.0.36.
