Advisory ID: 
BACKDROP-SA-CONTRIB-2020-001
Security risk: 
Critical
Vulnerability: 
Arbitrary PHP code execution
CVE ID: 
Versions affected: 
  • Feeds JSONPath Parser 1.x-1.0.0
Description: 

Feeds JSONPath Parser has a dependency on the third party Library peekmo/jsonpath or Stefan Goessner's implementation of jsonpath, which when used with data that has not been sanatized allows arbitrary code to be run.

Vulnerabilities are possible if a user has permission to configure a feed, or the feed is configured such that a user with the access to the import form can alter a field mapping.

The latest version changes the dependency from the aforementioned libraries and changes it to flow/jsonpath, which does not require value sanitation for the same functionality.

Solution: 

Upgrade your site to the most recent version of Feeds JSONPath Parser.
