CVE-2023-6848Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command injection via soffice argument

Published Dec 16, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Command injection in kalcaddle KodBox through 1.48 allows remote attackers to execute commands via the soffice argument. The check function in plugins/officeViewer/controller/libreOffice/index.class.php passes attacker-controlled soffice input into command execution without adequate neutralization. The endpoint is remotely reachable without authentication according to the published CVSS vector, so successful requests can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability; version 1.48.04 contains the fix.
