CVE-2026-25125: October Rain has Environment Variable Exfiltration via INI Parser Interpolation
(updated )
A server-side information disclosure vulnerability was identified in the INI settings parser. PHP’s parse_ini_string() function supports ${} syntax for environment variable interpolation. Attackers with Editor access could inject ${APP_KEY}, ${DB_PASSWORD}, or similar patterns into CMS page settings fields, causing sensitive environment variables to be resolved and stored in the template. These values were then returned to the attacker when the page was reopened.
