Summary

SuiteCRM, a popular customer relationship management tool, is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution, specifically affecting versions through 7.12.1 and 8.x up to 8.0.1. The vulnerability arises when authenticated users of the Scheduled Reports module manipulate the email_recipients property through crafted requests. This unauthorized access allows attackers to create a report containing a malicious PHP deserialization payload. When other users access the compromised report, the system deserializes the email_recipients field, inadvertently executing the payload and compromising the backend. This vulnerability takes advantage of PHP deserialization gadgets, including known components like Monolog/RCE1, posing significant risks to affected systems. Organizations using these versions of SuiteCRM should consider immediate updates and security measures.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
