Routine

HIGH 7.0REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2022-25768 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.0) affecting mautic. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The logic in place to facilitate the update process via the user interface lacks access control to verify if permission exists to perform the tasks. Prior to this patch being applied it might be possible for an attacker to access the Mautic version number or to execute parts of the upgrade process without permission. As upgrading in the user interface is deprecated, this functionality is no longer required.

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
