What is CVE-2024-25738?
CVE-2024-25738 is a critical server-side request forgery vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 May 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the /Upgrade/FixConfig route in Open Library Foundation VuFind 2.0 through 9.1 before 9.1.1 allows a remote attacker to overwrite local configuration files to gain access to the administrator panel and achieve Remote Code Execution. A mitigating factor is that it requires the allow_url_include PHP runtime setting to be on, which is off in default installations. It also requires the /Upgrade route to be exposed, which is exposed by default after installing VuFind, and is recommended to be disabled by setting autoConfigure to false in config.ini.
Weakness: CWE-918
