Modx : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

MODX Revolution through 2.8.3-pl allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary code by uploading an executable file, because the Uploadable File Types setting can be changed by an administrator.

A XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was discovered in the modRestServiceRequest component in MODX CMS 2.7.3 which can lead to an information disclosure or denial of service (DOS).

Fred MODX Revolution < 1.0.0-beta5 is affected by: Incorrect Access Control - CWE-648. The impact is: Remote Code Execution. The component is: assets/components/fred/web/elfinder/connector.php. The attack vector is: Uploading a PHP file or change data in the database. The fixed version is: https://github.com/modxcms/fred/commit/139cefac83b2ead90da23187d92739dec79d3ccd and https://github.com/modxcms/fred/commit/01f0a3d1ae7f3970639c2a0db1887beba0065246.

MODX Revolution Gallery 1.7.0 is affected by: CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type. The impact is: Creating file with custom a filename and content. The component is: Filtering user parameters before passing them into phpthumb class. The attack vector is: web request via /assets/components/gallery/connector.php.

Evolution CMS 2.0.x allows XSS via a description and new category location in a template. NOTE: the vendor states that the behavior is consistent with the "access policy in the administration panel.

MODX Revolution version <=2.6.4 contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in /core/model/modx/modmanagerrequest.class.php that can result in remove files. This attack appear to be exploitable via web request via security/login processor. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in pull 13980.

MODX Revolution version <=2.6.4 contains a Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in Filtering user parameters before passing them into phpthumb class that can result in Creating file with custom a filename and content. This attack appear to be exploitable via Web request. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in commit 06bc94257408f6a575de20ddb955aca505ef6e68.

MODX Revolution through v2.7.0-pl allows XSS via User Settings such as Description.

MODX Revolution through v2.7.0-pl allows XSS via an extended user field such as Container name or Attribute name.

MODX Revolution through v2.7.0-pl allows XSS via a document resource (such as pagetitle), which is mishandled during an Update action, a Quick Edit action, or the viewing of manager logs.

MODX Revolution through v2.7.0-pl allows XSS via the User Photo field.

MODX Revolution v2.6.5-pl allows stored XSS via a Create New Media Source action.

Evolution CMS 1.4.x allows XSS via the manager/ search parameter.

Evolution CMS 1.4.x allows XSS via the page weblink title parameter to the manager/ URI.

MODX Revolution 2.6.3 has XSS.

A stored web content injection vulnerability (WCI, a.k.a XSS) is present in MODX Revolution CMS version 2.5.6 and earlier. An authenticated user with permissions to edit users can save malicious JavaScript as a User Group name and potentially take control over victims' accounts. This can lead to an escalation of privileges providing complete administrative control over the CMS.

MODX Revolution version 2.x - 2.5.6 is vulnerable to blind SQL injection caused by improper sanitization by the escape method resulting in authenticated user accessing database and possibly escalating privileges.

In MODX Revolution 2.5.7, the "key" and "name" parameters in the System Settings module are vulnerable to XSS. A malicious payload sent to connectors/index.php will be triggered by every user, when they visit this module.

In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, an attacker might be able to trigger XSS by injecting a payload into the HTTP Host header of a request. This is exploitable only in conjunction with other issues such as Cache Poisoning.

In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, a user with resource edit permissions can inject an XSS payload into the title of any post via the pagetitle parameter to connectors/index.php.

In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, a user with file upload permissions is able to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with the name .htaccess.

In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, an attacker is able to trigger Reflected XSS by injecting payloads into several fields on the setup page, as demonstrated by the database_type parameter.

In MODX Revolution before 2.5.7, when PHP 5.3.3 is used, an attacker is able to include and execute arbitrary files on the web server due to insufficient validation of the action parameter to setup/index.php, aka directory traversal.

Directory traversal in setup/processors/url_search.php (aka the search page of an unused processor) in MODX Revolution 2.5.7 might allow remote attackers to obtain system directory information.

setup/templates/findcore.php in MODX Revolution 2.5.4-pl and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the core_path parameter.
