This flaw allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary command execution on systems performing database restores. The vulnerability arises because the package improperly handles filenames within backup archives. When a specially crafted ZIP archive containing shell metacharacters in a database dump filename under the \u003ccode\u003edb-dumps\u003c/code\u003e directory is restored, the \u003ccode\u003elaravel-backup-restore\u003c/code\u003e package interpolates these unescaped filenames directly into database import commands. This execution occurs via Symfony's \u003ccode\u003eProcess::fromShellCommandline()\u003c/code\u003e, which causes the shell metacharacters to be interpreted by \u003ccode\u003e/bin/sh\u003c/code\u003e on Unix-like systems or the platform shell on Windows. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the application and the underlying server, operating with the privileges of the PHP/Laravel application user. This issue is not related to malicious SQL content but rather the structure of the backup archive's filenames.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker crafts a malicious backup archive (e.g., a ZIP file) containing a \u003ccode\u003edb-dumps\u003c/code\u003e directory.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside the \u003ccode\u003edb-dumps\u003c/code\u003e directory, the attacker includes a database dump file with a filename that contains shell metacharacters (e.g., \u003ccode\u003edump.sql; cat /etc/passwd \u0026gt; /tmp/pwned.txt\u003c/code\u003e).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe malicious backup archive is introduced to the target system, potentially through a compromised source, malicious upload, or direct access.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn operator or automated process on the target system initiates a database restore operation using the vulnerable \u003ccode\u003elaravel-backup-restore\u003c/code\u003e package.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the restore, the package extracts the ZIP archive and identifies the database dump file within the \u003ccode\u003edb-dumps\u003c/code\u003e directory.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ccode\u003elaravel-backup-restore\u003c/code\u003e package constructs a shell command (e.g., \u003ccode\u003emysql ... \u0026lt; {dumpFile}\u003c/code\u003e) for database import, interpolating the unescaped malicious filename directly into the command string.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe underlying Symfony \u003ccode\u003eProcess::fromShellCommandline()\u003c/code\u003e executes the constructed command via \u003ccode\u003e/bin/sh\u003c/code\u003e or the platform shell, interpreting the shell metacharacters and executing the attacker's injected arbitrary commands (e.g., \u003ccode\u003ecat /etc/passwd\u003c/code\u003e).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker's commands are executed on the server, leading to application compromise, data exfiltration, or further post-exploitation activities.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-53932 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands as the PHP/Laravel application user on the system performing the database restore. This can lead to a severe compromise of the affected application and the underlying server. Consequences include unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as database credentials and application secrets, complete data tampering or destruction, and the installation of backdoors for persistent access. Depending on the permissions of the PHP user, attackers could achieve lateral movement within the network or elevate privileges, turning a simple restore operation into a full system compromise. The severity of the impact is high given the potential for complete control over the compromised server.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"recommendation\"\u003eRecommendation\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmediately upgrade \u003ccode\u003ewnx/laravel-backup-restore\u003c/code\u003e to version 1.9.4 or higher to patch CVE-2026-53932.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy the Sigma rules titled \u0026quot;Detect CVE-2026-53932 Exploitation - PHP Process Spawning Suspicious Commands (Windows)\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;Detect CVE-2026-53932 Exploitation - PHP Process Spawning Suspicious Commands (Linux)\u0026quot; to your SIEM solution.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure process creation logging is enabled for \u003ccode\u003ephp\u003c/code\u003e and its child processes on all Windows and Linux servers running Laravel applications.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview existing automated backup restore workflows and any manual restore procedures to minimize exposure to untrusted backup archives.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n","date_modified":"2026-07-09T21:12:20Z","date_published":"2026-07-09T21:12:20Z","id":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-07-laravel-backup-restore-rce/","summary":"A critical OS command injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-53932, exists in the wnx/laravel-backup-restore package (versions \u003c= 1.9.3), allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the hosting system by crafting a malicious backup archive with shell metacharacters in a database dump filename, leading to application compromise, data tampering, and potential lateral movement.","title":"Laravel-Backup-Restore OS Command Injection (CVE-2026-53932)","url":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-07-laravel-backup-restore-rce/"}],"language":"en","title":"CraftedSignal Threat Feed - Cve-2026-53932","version":"https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1"}
