HighCVSS 7.2
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

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.

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.
