CVE-2023-6130Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via backslash path traversal

Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 30, 2024

Path traversal in SuiteCRM 7.12 before 7.12.14, 7.14 before 7.14.2, and 8.4 before 8.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The CNA identifies a leading-backslash parent-directory sequence, but the public record and bundled release commit do not identify the request handler or file operation that consumes it. A valid low-privilege account is required; successful local file inclusion permits attacker-controlled code to run with the web application's privileges.
