AI-suggested
Upgrade to OpenMage magento-lts version 20.17.0 or later, which patches this vulnerability by improving the file upload filtering. Until upgrading, ensure that the media/custom_options/quote/ directory is configured on the server to explicitly deny script execution to prevent remote code execution. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory, so verify with official OpenMage sources for the latest remediation guidance.
Description
Magento Long Term Support (LTS) is an unofficial, community-driven project provides an alternative to the Magento Community Edition e-commerce platform with a high level of backward compatibility. Prior to version 20.17.0, the product custom option file upload in OpenMage LTS uses an incomplete blocklist (`forbidden_extensions = php,exe`) to prevent dangerous file uploads. This blocklist can be trivially bypassed by using alternative PHP-executable extensions such as `.phtml`, `.phar`, `.php3`, `.php4`, `.php5`, `.php7`, and `.pht`. Files are stored in the publicly accessible `media/custom_options/quote/` directory, which lacks server-side execution restrictions for some configurations, enabling Remote Code Execution if this directory is not explicitly denied script execution. Version 20.17.0 patches the issue.
