Overview

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the database backup restore functionality extracts uploaded archive contents and copies files from the Images/ directory into the web-accessible document root using recursiveCopyDirectory(), which performs no file extension filtering. An authenticated administrator can upload a crafted backup archive containing a PHP webshell inside the Images/ directory, which is then written to a publicly accessible path and executable via HTTP requests, resulting in remote code execution as the web server user. The restore endpoint also lacks CSRF token validation, enabling exploitation through cross-site request forgery targeting an authenticated administrator. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
