lib/MT/Upgrade.pm in mt-upgrade.cgi in Movable Type 4.2x and 4.3x through 4.38 does not require authentication for requests to database-migration functions, which allows remote attackers to conduct eval injection and SQL injection attacks via crafted parameters, as demonstrated by an eval injection attack against the core_drop_meta_for_table function, leading to execution of arbitrary Perl code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Movable Type 4.2x and 4.3x installations through 4.38 exposed upgrade database-migration functions without authentication. A remote attacker could abuse crafted parameters to trigger eval injection or SQL injection, with the reported impact including arbitrary Perl code execution. Exposure is most likely where legacy Movable Type 4.2x or 4.3x deployments still have mt-upgrade.cgi reachable from untrusted networks. The supplied data does not identify affected CPEs or modern package status. Prioritize remediation for any public legacy Movable Type sites. The business risk is server compromise from an unauthenticated web request, but urgency depends on whether the upgrade CGI remains exposed. Mitigation focus: Review and apply the vendor Movable Type 4.38 patch guidance.; Restrict public access to mt-upgrade.cgi and upgrade interfaces.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy Movable Type deployments..
