Risk: High

CWE: CWE-89
CWE-22

"ProjectPier is a Free, Open-Source, PHP application for managing tasks, projects and teams through an intuitive web interface." https://github.com/Project-Pier https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectpier/ I reached out to the vendor via several channels to report the findings below, but received no response. Since the project is abandoned (latest commits are 3 years old), I decided to go for full disclosure. The vulnerable versions are 0.8.8 and below. Vulnerability #1 (CVE-2018-10759): The PHP file (public/patch/patch.php) is public facing, accessible without authentication and is vulnerable to PHP remote file inclusion attacks since the id parameter is not sanitized. As a consequence of this, attackers could execute arbitrary commands via the expect:// fopen wrapper or execute arbitrary SQL statements. Remediation: Decommission the application or at least remove the affected file. Vulnerability #2 (CVE-2018-10760): The official Files plugin of ProjectPier is a file management plugin offering file uploads for the authentication users having the appropriate permissions granted. The files are uploaded into the subdirectory /tmp under the document root. The plugin does not enforce any security controls regarding the type/content of the file being uploaded, which could be abused by malicious users to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading it via this plugin. Remediation: Decommission the application or revoke access privileges to the plugin.
