Unauthenticated command execution via spell-check input
Published Aug 30, 2025 · Updated May 15, 2026
OS command injection in Dogfood CRM 2.0.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted POST request. The mail/spell.php endpoint passes the data parameter to an underlying shell command without escaping shell metacharacters. No authentication or user interaction is required; injected commands run with the privileges of the web server process.
