What an exploitation attempt looks like
Sample log line indicative of exploitation attempts:
GET|POST /admin/index/statistics HTTP/1.1.*?(php_version|mysql_version|table_count|installed_bundles)WAF mitigation (if patching is not yet possible)
Add this rule to your WAF to block exploitation attempts while you schedule the patch.
Implement a WAF rule to block requests to /admin/index/statistics from users not in a whitelist of administrative IP ranges. Additionally, enforce HTTP Basic Authentication headers or session cookie validation before allowing access to this endpoint.How to check if you are affected
- Check the installed Pimcore Admin Classic Bundle version: grep -r '"version"' vendor/pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle/composer.json 2>/dev/null | head -1
- Verify if the statistics endpoint is accessible by testing: curl -s -u username:password https://your-pimcore-domain/admin/index/statistics | grep -E '(php_version|mysql_version|bundles|table)'
- Review web server access logs for requests to /admin/index/statistics: grep '/admin/index/statistics' /var/log/apache2/access.log or /var/log/nginx/access.log
- Confirm the patch by checking if the IndexController has access controls: grep -A 5 'statistics' vendor/pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle/src/Controller/Admin/IndexController.php | grep -E '(isAllowed|Permission|Grant)'
Indicators of compromise
- /admin/index/statistics
