Paymenter released v1.2.11 to patch a critical remote code execution flaw tracked as CVE-2025-58048 and GHSA-5pm9-r2m8-rcmj. The vulnerability affects paymenter/paymenter versions earlier than 1.2.11 and stems from the ticket attachments feature, where a malicious authenticated user could upload arbitrary files and trigger code execution on the server. The issue was assigned a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.9, reflecting the risk that even a low-privilege account could compromise the application environment.
Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, extract database contents, read sensitive files such as .env, and run system commands in the web server context. Paymenter said the flaw was fixed in commit 87c3db4 and shipped in release commit 79b2a5d as part of v1.2.11. While temporary mitigations include forcing downloads from /storage/ through nginx or blocking direct access to /storage/ with a WAF such as Cloudflare, the project states that upgrading to v1.2.11 or later is the only complete remediation.
