-----------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Software Link:
https://suitecrm.com/
[-] Affected Versions:
Version 7.11.11 and prior versions.
[-] Vulnerabilities Description:
1) User input passed through the "backup_dir" parameter when handling
the "Backups" action
within the "Administration" module is not properly sanitized before
being used in a file
operation. This can be exploited by malicious users to inject arbitrary
PHP objects into
the application scope (PHP Object Injection via phar:// stream wrapper),
allowing them to
carry out a variety of attacks, such as executing arbitrary PHP code.
Successful
exploitation of this vulnerability requires a System Administrator
account.
2) User input passed through the "file_name" parameter when handling the
"step3″ action
within the "Import" module is not properly sanitized before being used
in a file operation.
This can be exploited by malicious users to inject arbitrary PHP objects
into the application
scope (PHP Object Injection via phar:// stream wrapper), allowing them
to carry out a variety
of attacks, such as executing arbitrary PHP code.
3) User input passed through the "load_module_from_dir" parameter when
handling the
"UpgradeWizard" action within the "Administration" module is not
properly sanitized before
being used in a file operation. This can be exploited by malicious users
to inject arbitrary
PHP objects into the application scope (PHP Object Injection via phar://
stream wrapper),
allowing them to carry out a variety of attacks, such as executing
arbitrary PHP code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a System
Administrator account.
4) User input passed through the "file_name" parameter when handling the
"UploadFileCheck"
action within the "UpgradeWizard" module is not properly sanitized
before being used in a
file operation. This can be exploited by malicious users to inject
arbitrary PHP objects
into the application scope (PHP Object Injection via phar:// stream
wrapper), allowing them
to carry out a variety of attacks, such as executing arbitrary PHP code.
Successful
exploitation of this vulnerability would require a System Administrator
account.
However, due to KIS-2020-04 it could be exploited by any user.
