# CVE-2025-57055: Authenticated Remote Code Execution in WonderCMS 3.5.0

## Vulnerability Mechanics

An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in WonderCMS v3.5.0.

The issue stems from how the application handles **remote theme/module installations** via JSON descriptors. When an admin submits a remote JSON file referencing a ZIP archive, its contents are extracted to a web-accessible directory (e.g., `/themes/`). If the ZIP contains a PHP file, that file becomes accessible over the web and may be executed.

This behavior introduces RCE risk due to:

- Lack of validation or sanitization on ZIP contents.
- No restriction on file types extracted from remote sources.
- Web-accessibility of theme/plugin directories.

**Note:** Admin authentication is required, but default installations expose the admin password publicly (on the homepage), use password-only login, and do not enforce strong auth controls.

## Vendor Response

- The vulnerability was reported to WonderCMS maintainers in July 2025.

- The maintainers acknowledged the report but noted that, in their view, this behavior is acceptable for administrators.

## Mitigation Guidance

To reduce exposure:

- **Restrict remote installation capabilities** to trusted sources (e.g., GitHub only).
- **Validate and sanitize ZIP contents** before extracting.
- **Harden authentication**:
  - Hide admin password post-installation.
  - Enforce username/password login.
  - Enable multi-factor authentication (if available).
- Prevent access to executable files inside `themes/` or `plugins/` via server configuration.
