Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 30, 2024

Code injection in SuiteCRM before 7.12.14, 7.14.2, or 8.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through a module package. ModuleScanner::scanFile returned without recording an issue when uploaded package content failed its PHP-file check, permitting the invalid file through module validation. Administrator-level access to the Module Loader is required, and successful injection executes code with the web application's privileges.
