An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-20465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- craftcms/cms (Packagist): affected all versions up to 3.0.34; no fix listed\n- craftcms/cms (Packagist): affected all versions up to 3.0.34; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-20465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20465/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-20465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j7fx-v37j-v3w7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Craft CMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can exploit server-side template injection to read sensitive database credentials from configuration settings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"craft_cms","vendor":"craftcms"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-311","name":"Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data"}],"description":"Craft CMS through 3.0.34 allows remote authenticated administrators to read sensitive information via server-side template injection, as demonstrated by a {% string for craft.app.config.DB.user and craft.app.config.DB.password in the URI Format of the Site Settings, which causes a cleartext username and password to be displayed in a URI field.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Craft CMS Vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection","id":"CVE-2018-20465","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":"craftcms:craft_cms","products":["craftcms:craft_cms"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20467"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.0.34"],"package":"craftcms/cms","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-j7fx-v37j-v3w7"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.0.34"],"package":"craftcms/cms","purl":"pkg:composer/craftcms/cms","source":"GHSA-j7fx-v37j-v3w7"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20464"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-12-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Craft CMS Code Injection","id":"CVE-2025-32432","kev_date_added":"2026-03-20","published":"2025-04-25"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Craft CMS Code Injection","id":"CVE-2024-56145","kev_date_added":"2025-06-02","published":"2024-12-18"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Craft CMS Code Injection","id":"CVE-2025-23209","kev_date_added":"2025-02-20","published":"2025-01-18"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Craft CMS External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter","id":"CVE-2025-35939","kev_date_added":"2025-06-02","published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Craft CMS Remote Code Execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41892","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Craft CMS Remote Code Injection","id":"CVE-2021-27903","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SEOmatic for CraftCMS allows Server-Side Template Injection","id":"CVE-2020-9757","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can exploit server-side template injection to read sensitive database credentials from configuration settings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20465/"}
