magento-lts: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

CVE-2026-128046 is a high-severity incomplete list of disallowed inputs vulnerability in magento-lts from OpenMage, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 20.18.2, 21.0.0-beta3 as the first without the flaw, so updating magento-lts to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.64% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 51% of scored CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update magento-lts to 20.18.2 or 21.0.0-beta3, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

OpenMage magento-lts 20.17.0 before 20.18.2 and 21.0.0-beta1 before 21.0.0-beta3 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability because the general/file/protected_extensions blocklist omits phar, php8, and phps. Unauthenticated attackers can upload a .phar file through a product File custom option to a predictable media/custom_options path and request it directly to execute code on servers that map .phar to PHP and serve that directory.

The underlying weakness: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Do not rely exclusively on detecting disallowed inputs. There are too many variants to encode a character, especially when different environments are used, so there is a high likelihood of missing some variants. Only use detection of disallowed inputs as a mechanism for detecting suspicious activity. Ensure that you are using other protection mechanisms that only identify good input - such as lists of allowed inputs - and ensure that you are properly encoding your outputs.
