Authenticated file access via curl argument injection
Published Apr 4, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Argument injection in CoreDial sipXcom 21.04 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read and write server files via XMPP. The sipXopenfire DefaultMessagePacketInterceptor inserts text after an @call directive into a curl command string passed to Runtime.exec without sanitizing argument delimiters. An XMPP account and the default-disabled sipXopenfire component are required; injected curl options have daemon-user file access, while root command execution requires the separate startup-file weakness and a service restart.
