SCA: security update for concrete5/concrete5 (GHSA-r42c-3rr2-jrfp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443869

Description

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

- Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below does not validate a CSRF token before processing requests to
/dashboard/extend/install/download/<remoteId>. The download() method in
concrete/controllers/single_page/dashboard/extend/install.php checks only the canInstallPackages()
permission before fetching a remote marketplace package and writing it to the server's DIR_PACKAGES
directory. Because the endpoint is a state-changing GET route with no token enforcement, an attacker who
can cause an authenticated administrator to visit a crafted page can force an arbitrary marketplace
package to be downloaded. In order to be vulnerable, the victim must be passing canInstallPackages() and
the site must be connected to the Concrete marketplace. The Concrete CMS security team gave this
vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 7.5 with vector
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks https://github.com/maru1009 for
reporting. (CVE-2026-8140)
