Remote code execution via configuration-file PHP injection
Published Mar 31, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025
Code injection in RockOA 2.3.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code through the configuration file handler. An unauthenticated REIM callback accepts predictably encoded password and profile changes, enabling PHP to enter a database field that savecong writes into webmainConfig.php. The chain requires network access to exposed index.php routes and changes administrator credentials and persistent configuration before executing commands.
