CVE-2024-47051 is a critical-severity code injection vulnerability in mautic/core (composer), affecting versions < 5.2.3. It is fixed in 5.2.3.
Summary This advisory addresses two critical security vulnerabilities present in Mautic versions before 5.2.3. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by authenticated users. Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Asset Upload: A Remote Code Execution vulnerability has been identified in the asset upload functionality. Insufficient enforcement of allowed file extensions allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload executable files, such as PHP scripts. Path Traversal File Deletion: A Path Traversal vulnerability exists in the upload validation process. Due to improper handling of path components, an authenticated user can manipulate the file deletion process to delete arbitrary files on the host system. Mitigation Please update to 5.2.3 or later. Workarounds None References https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CodeInjection https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/PathTraversal If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: Email us at [email protected]
Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution within the application's privilege context.
CVE-2024-47051 has a CVSS score of 9.1 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (5.2.3). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.
composer
mautic/core (< 5.2.3)mautic/core → 5.2.3 (composer)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's Application Detection and Response identifies whether CVE-2024-47051 is reachable in your applications. Explore runtime application protection for your team.

CVE-2024-47051 is a critical-severity code injection vulnerability in mautic/core (composer), affecting versions < 5.2.3. It is fixed in 5.2.3. Untrusted input is evaluated as executable code within the application's runtime environment.
CVE-2024-47051 has a CVSS score of 9.1 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
mautic/core (composer) versions < 5.2.3 is affected.
Yes. CVE-2024-47051 is fixed in 5.2.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2024-47051 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
Upgrade mautic/core to 5.2.3 or later.
