The siteaccess URIMatching implementation in eZ publish 3.5 through 3.8 before 20050812 converts all non-alphanumeric characters in a URI to '_' (underscore), which allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions by inserting certain characters in a URI, as demonstrated by a request for /admin:de, which matches a rule allowing only /admin_de to access /admin.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy eZ publish sites where URL-matching rules protect restricted areas. The application normalizes non-alphanumeric URL characters into underscores, so different-looking URLs can be treated as the same rule. That can let a remote user bypass intended access restrictions. Exposure is likely limited to legacy eZ publish 3.5 through 3.8 deployments before 20050812 that use siteaccess URIMatching for administrative or restricted path access control. Prioritize if the organization still runs legacy eZ publish with internet-facing administrative paths. For modern stacks or retired eZ publish deployments, this is mainly an inventory-confirmation item. Mitigation focus: Identify any eZ publish 3.5 through 3.8 installations.; Upgrade to a vendor-fixed build dated after 20050812 where supported.; Review vendor issue 7025 and the 3.8 changelog for exact remediation guidance..
