AI Analysis
Technical Summary
ChurchCRM, an open-source church management system, suffers from a critical code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) identified as CVE-2026-42288. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the setup wizard by exploiting an unsanitized DB_PASSWORD input. This flaw persists in all versions before 7.3.2 due to an incomplete remediation of a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-39337). The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0, indicating network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The issue is fixed in version 7.3.2.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, leading to full compromise including complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the ChurchCRM instance. This can result in unauthorized access, data manipulation, and service disruption.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade ChurchCRM to version 7.3.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Until the upgrade is applied, the system remains fully vulnerable to remote code execution via the setup wizard.
