What is CVE-2022-25768?

CVE-2022-25768 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Mautic, published on 18 Sep 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The logic in place to facilitate the update process via the user interface lacks access control to verify if permission exists to perform the tasks. Prior to this patch being applied it might be possible for an attacker to access the Mautic version number or to execute parts of the upgrade process without permission. As upgrading in the user interface is deprecated, this functionality is no longer required.
