In versions 1.23.0 through 1.27.0, using a path traversal inside the `language` user configuration parameter, it's possible to call `install.php` and perform various administrative actions as an unprivileged user. These actions include logging in as the admin, creating a new admin user, or set the database to an attacker-controlled MySQL server and abuse it to execute code in FreshRSS by setting malicious feed `curl_params` inside the `feed` table. Version 1.27.1 fixes the issue.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `freshrss >= 1.23.0, < 1.27.1`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `freshrss 1.27.1`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":49,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
