Arbitrary file write to RCE (GHSL-2024-182) vulnerability reported:
An arbitrary file write vulnerability accessible via the upload method of the
MediaController
allows authenticated users to write arbitrary files to any location on the web server Camaleon CMS is running on (depending on the permissions of the underlying filesystem). E.g. This can lead to a delayed remote code execution in case an attacker is able to write a Ruby file into the config/initializers/ subfolder of the Ruby on Rails application.This PR fixes the vulnerability by introducing the
CamaleonCmsUploader.valid_folder_path?
method which checks for directory traversal path, absolute file path, and URI-like path.
