Patching Flaws: Lack of Access Control in Mautic's Update Process

CVE-2022-25768

What is CVE-2022-25768?

An access control weakness in Mautic’s user interface allows unauthorized users to potentially access sensitive information including the version number and execute parts of the upgrade process. This issue arises from inadequate verification of permissions during the update process, particularly as functionality related to user-initiated upgrades has been deprecated. Without proper access controls, attackers could exploit this vulnerability to compromise the integrity of the Mautic installation, making it crucial for users to apply the necessary patches to mitigate these risks.
