AI-suggested
Upgrade haxcms-php to version 25.0.0 or later, where the vulnerability has been fixed. The fix involves proper validation beyond file extension regex, including checking file content or MIME type. Until upgrading, restrict file upload permissions and monitor for suspicious uploads as a temporary measure. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the vendor advisory, but version 25.0.0 contains the fix.
Description
HAX CMS helps manage microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. Starting in version 11.0.6 and prior to version 25.0.0, the file upload functionality in HAXCMS PHP only validates file extensions using a regex pattern without checking the actual file content or MIME type. This allows attackers to upload malicious files (e.g., PHP webshells) disguised as legitimate image files, potentially leading to remote code execution. Version 25.0.0 contains a fix for the issue.
