What is CVE-2024-45398?

Contao CMS, an open-source content management system, has identified a vulnerability that allows back end users with access to the file manager to upload and execute malicious files on the server. This flaw poses a significant risk as it can lead to unauthorized remote command execution. Users are highly recommended to update their systems to the latest versions: Contao 4.13.49, 5.3.15, or 5.4.3. For those unable to perform updates, it is essential to configure the web server settings to prevent the execution of PHP files and other scripting languages within the Contao file upload directory to mitigate potential threats.
