QUESTION:
Recently we discovered that one of our clients had malware hidden in images that were being uploaded by the
module.
The client is using 1.0.7 on Magento 2.3.5 EE, which appears to be the latest version. Images that are uploaded through your module are not sanitized or validated as Magento core does through their native upload functionality, which allows malicious actors to upload images with toxic EXIF data and embedded scripts in the images themselves.
These images are not renamed either and are discoverable through a public directory before being formally
approved, and are viewable by both admin users and normal users on product pages.
This problem can be fixed by adding the following lines to the SaveImages controller:
$imageAdapter = $this->adapterFactory->create(); $uploader->addValidateCallback('catalog_product_image', $imageAdapter, 'validateUploadFile'); |
For implementation reference see Magento\Catalog\Controller\Adminhtml\Product\Gallery\Upload.
