CVE-2026-117532 Details
Description
REDAXO core from 5.3.0 before 5.21.4 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the structure/history plugin that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge temporary login tokens. Attackers can force the session-tied secret into a predictable state and forge tokens for accounts like admin, gaining backend access and code execution outside live mode.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the REDAXO core version 5.3.0 prior to 5.21.4, specifically within the structure/history plugin. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to forge temporary login tokens. By manipulating the session-tied secret into a predictable state, attackers can create tokens for existing accounts, such as admin, thereby gaining backend access. In installations not running live mode, this could lead to remote code execution, as administrators can upload executable PHP through various means, which REDAXO would execute server-side. However, in live mode, such actions are restricted, leaving only the authentication bypass and backend access.
Users are advised to update REDAXO to version 5.21.4. If an immediate update is not possible, the structure/history plugin can be deactivated, or a specific modification can be applied to the history plugin's boot.php file to disable the temporary login feature while still recording history snapshots.
