SCA: security update for admidio/admidio (GHSA-m9h6-8pqm-xrhf)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440988

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, the add mode in
 modules/documents-files.php accepts a name parameter validated only as 'string' type (HTML encoding),
 allowing path traversal characters (../) to pass through unfiltered. Combined with the absence of CSRF
 protection on this endpoint and SameSite=Lax session cookies, a low-privileged attacker can trick a
 documents administrator into clicking a crafted link that registers an arbitrary server file (e.g.,
 install/config.php containing database credentials) into a documents folder accessible to the attacker.
 This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9. (CVE-2026-41656)

Solution

Update the admidio/admidio library and its related packages to version 5.0.9 or later.
