id: CVE-2023-46818

info:
  name: ISPConfig - PHP Code Injection
  author: non-things
  severity: high
  description: |
    An issue was discovered in ISPConfig before 3.2.11p1. PHP code injection can be achieved in the language file editor by an admin if admin_allow_langedit is enabled.
  impact: |
    Authenticated administrators can inject and execute arbitrary PHP code, potentially gaining complete server control.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade ISPConfig to version 3.2.11p1 or later, and ensure admin_allow_langedit is disabled unless absolutely necessary.
