TITLE

vtiger CRM Vulnerabilities that bypass authentication

DESCRIPTION

vtiger CRM 4.2.4, and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and access administrative modules via a direct request to index.php with a modified module parameter, as demonstrated using the Settings module. The vtiger CRM is prone to HTML-injection and access-control-bypass vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input and effectively control access to administrative modules. Version 4.2.4 of vtiger CRM is reportedly affected; previous versions may be vulnerable as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to work within IT-Security?

This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed. 2) An error in the access control verification can be exploited by a normal user to access administrative modules (e.g. the settings section) by accessing certain URLs directly. The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 4.2.4. Use another product.
