CVE-2026-74239
HighCVSS 7.2Summary
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the style archive importer on Windows deployments that allows authenticated non-super administrators with style permissions to write arbitrary files outside the intended extraction directory by using backslash-based traversal sequences in ZIP member names.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can write malicious files to the public web root, potentially leading to persistent code execution as the web-server account and full system compromise.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update XenForo to version 2.3.13 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in XenForo
See all- CVE-2026-73321Medium
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in the BBCode parser that allows authenticated attackers to cause persistent denial of service by submitting a post with deeply nested BBCode tags.
- CVE-2026-73320Medium
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve private unfurl records by supplying predictable auto-increment primary key IDs to the unfurl endpoint.
- CVE-2026-73319Medium
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the dynamic redirect handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the board origin by crafting a malicious javascript: URI that bypasses host validation.
- CVE-2026-73318Low
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the force-agreement controller that allows any ACP administrator to access and submit force-agreement forms regardless of their assigned permissions. Attackers can bypass the option permission declared in the navigation configuration to update the global policy last-updated timestamp, forcing all users to re-agree to the privacy policy or terms of service.
- CVE-2026-73317Low
XenForo before version 2.3.13 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the ACP cache-rebuild dispatcher, allowing limited administrators with only the rebuildCache permission to perform unauthorized approval queue actions. Attackers can invoke the approval queue job under any user identity to approve queued registrations without required permissions, causing the moderation log to attribute actions to an impersonated account.
- CVE-2026-73316High
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a payment replay vulnerability in the PayPal REST payment provider that allows attackers to process the same webhook payload multiple times by exploiting a missing duplicate transaction ID check.
- CVE-2026-73315High
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the PayPal REST webhook handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to cause the server to make outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations by supplying a crafted certificate URL in webhook headers without scheme, hostname, or allowlist validation.
- CVE-2026-73314High
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a signature verification logic error in the PayPal REST webhook handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass payment signature validation by submitting a webhook request with an unsupported auth_algo header value.
- CVE-2026-73313Medium
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a multi-factor authentication bypass vulnerability in the passkey TFA provider that allows an authenticated attacker to complete login as another user by submitting their own registered passkey credential during the WebAuthn assertion step.
- CVE-2026-73312High
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a refresh token replay vulnerability that allows attackers to reuse a refresh token multiple times by exploiting the failure to mark tokens as consumed when the parent access token has expired.
Original NVD description (English source)
XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the style archive importer on Windows deployments that allows authenticated non-super administrators with style permissions to write arbitrary files outside the intended extraction directory by using backslash-based traversal sequences in ZIP member names. Attackers can craft a malicious ZIP archive with backslash path separators that bypass forward-slash validation to write arbitrary bytes to any web-server-writable path, including the public web root, achieving persistent code execution as the web-server account.
