Vulnerability

[-] Software Link:

https://www.sugarcrm.com


[-] Affected Versions:

Version 12.2.0 and prior versions.
Version 12.0.2 and prior versions.
Version 11.0.5 and prior versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

There is a Second-Order PHP Object Injection vulnerability which might 
allow malicious
admin users to execute arbitrary PHP code on the web server (RCE) by 
storing malicious
serialized objects into the database.

The vulnerability can be triggered by invoking the 
"/DocuSign/getGlobalConfig" REST API
endpoint, which is using the unserialize() PHP function with the 
"Docusign_GlobalSettings"
parameter. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP objects into 
the application
scope, allowing an attacker to perform a variety of attacks.
