Description
This update addresses two security concerns:
- An undemonstrated potential vulnerability. In cooperation with a competing software application, we will release further details about this issue and how it affects Blesta once a sufficient amount of time has passed.
- Full Path Disclosure.
Resolution
If you are running 3.6.0 or 3.6.1, apply the following patch:
3.6.x -> 3.6.2 - Download Patch
If you are running a version prior to 3.6.0, upgrade to 3.6.2:
3.6.2 - Download Full
Be sure to run ~/admin/upgrade in your browser after updating the files. A new configuration variable will be written to your ~/config/blesta.php config file. Ensure that it is writable.
Related tasks: CORE-2228, CORE-2231
Mitigation
It is best to upgrade to 3.6.2, however, the Full Path Disclosure issue may be mitigated by changing the System.debug variable to false in ~/config/core.php. To do so, open ~/config/core.php and look for the following:
<?php
...
Configure::set("System.debug", true);Change this to:
<?php
...
Configure::set("System.debug", false);This will effectively disable stack traces within minPHP “Oh noes” error pages. When upgrading to Blesta 3.6.2, this option is defined and overridden in Blesta’s config file (~/config/blesta.php).
