Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

CVE-2022-21829

High
9.8/10

Summary

Concrete CMS Versions through 8.5.7 and through 9.0.2 can download zip files over HTTP and execute code from those zip files which could lead to an RCE. Fixed by enforcing ‘concrete_secure’ or 'concrete5_secure' instead of ‘concrete’. Concrete now only makes requests over https even a request comes in via http.
