Until a fix is available, restrict collection management privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to collection rule modifications.
Description
Cockpit CMS contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the /cockpit/collections/save_collection endpoint that allows authenticated attackers with collection management privileges to inject arbitrary PHP code into collection rules parameters. Attackers can inject malicious PHP code through rule parameters which is written directly to server-side PHP files and executed via include() to achieve arbitrary command execution on the underlying server.
