Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-42034 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Wedding Planner v1.0, specifically through the users_profile.php component. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution, which means an attacker can execute malicious code on the affected system remotely. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H shows that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requires low privileges (PR:L), and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), but the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high (C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-434, which relates to Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type, indicating that the vulnerability likely stems from improper validation of uploaded files in users_profile.php, allowing an attacker to upload and execute malicious code. No patch links are provided, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported as of the publication date. The vulnerability was published on October 11, 2022, and is recognized by CISA as enriched data, indicating its significance. The lack of vendor or product information beyond the application name limits detailed vendor-specific analysis, but the threat is clear: arbitrary code execution via a web application component that handles user profiles and file uploads.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using Wedding Planner v1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Arbitrary code execution can lead to full system compromise, data breaches, ransomware deployment, or lateral movement within networks. Confidentiality is at risk as attackers can access sensitive personal and business data. Integrity is compromised since attackers can alter data or application behavior. Availability can be disrupted through denial-of-service or destructive payloads. Given the nature of the application (wedding planning), it may be used by event management companies, venues, or service providers, which often handle personal client data and payment information, increasing the risk of privacy violations and financial fraud. The low attack complexity and no user interaction required make exploitation feasible for attackers with limited privileges, increasing the threat level. The absence of known exploits in the wild does not reduce the risk, as the vulnerability is publicly known and could be targeted by opportunistic attackers or incorporated into automated scanning tools.

Mitigation Recommendations

Organizations should immediately assess if they use Wedding Planner v1.0 and specifically the users_profile.php component. Since no official patches are listed, mitigation should include: 1) Restricting file upload functionality by implementing strict server-side validation of file types, sizes, and content; 2) Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block malicious payloads targeting file upload endpoints; 3) Running the application with the least privileges possible to limit the impact of code execution; 4) Monitoring logs for unusual activity related to users_profile.php, such as unexpected file uploads or execution attempts; 5) Isolating the application environment to contain potential breaches; 6) If feasible, replacing or upgrading the application to a version without this vulnerability or switching to alternative software; 7) Conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on file upload mechanisms; 8) Educating administrators about the risks and signs of exploitation attempts. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vector (file upload in users_profile.php) and operational controls.
