Summary
Carbon has an arbitrary file include via unvalidated input passed to Carbon::setLocale
Details

Impact

Application passing unsanitized user input to Carbon::setLocale are at risk of arbitrary file include, if the application allows users to upload files with .php extension in an folder that allows include or require to read it, then they are at risk of arbitrary code ran on their servers.

Patches

Workarounds

Any of the below actions can be taken to prevent the issue:

  • Validate input before calling setLocale(), for instance by forbidding or removing / and \
  • Call setLocale() only with a locale from a whitelist of supported locales
  • When uploading files, rename them so they cannot have a .php extension (this is recommended even if you're not affected by this issue)
  • Prefer storage system that are not local to the application (remote service, or local service ran by another user so the uploaded files actually live outside of the application basedir)
