The fix for GHSA-7jx7-3846-m7w7 (commit 395c64f0b80b507be1c862a2ec942eaacb353748) only patched src/services/Fields.php, but the same vulnerable pattern exists in EntryTypesController::actionApplyOverrideSettings().
In src/controllers/EntryTypesController.php lines 381-387:
$settingsStr = $this->request->getBodyParam('settings');
parse_str($settingsStr, $postedSettings);
$settingsNamespace = $this->request->getRequiredBodyParam('settingsNamespace');
$settings = array_filter(ArrayHelper::getValue($postedSettings, $settingsNamespace, []));
if (!empty($settings)) {
Craft::configure($entryType, $settings);
The $settings array from parse_str is passed directly to Craft::configure() without Component::cleanseConfig(). This allows injecting Yii2 behavior/event handlers via as or on prefixed keys, the same attack vector as the original advisory.
You need Craft control panel administrator permissions, and allowAdminChanges must be enabled for this to work.
An attacker can use the same gadget chain from the original advisory to achieve RCE.
Users should update to Craft 5.9.11 to mitigate the issue.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs high-level or administrative privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
