Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.142487
Category:Web application abuses
Title:Horde Groupware Webmail <= 5.2.22 RCE Vulnerability - Linux
Summary:Horde Groupware Webmail is prone to an authenticated remote; code execution (RCE) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Horde Groupware Webmail is prone to an authenticated remote
code execution (RCE) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Horde/Form/Type.php contains a vulnerable class that handles
image upload in forms. When the Horde_Form_Type_image method onSubmit() is called on uploads, it
invokes the functions getImage() and _getUpload(), which uses unsanitized user input as a path to
save the image. The unsanitized POST parameter object[photo][img][file] is saved in the
$upload[img][file] PHP variable, allowing an attacker to manipulate the $tmp_file passed to
move_uploaded_file() to save the uploaded file. By setting the parameter to (for example)
../usr/share/horde/static/bd.php, one can write a PHP backdoor inside the web root. The static/
destination folder is a good candidate to drop the backdoor because it is always writable in
Horde installations.

Affected Software/OS:
Horde Groupware Webmail version 5.2.22 and prior with Horde
Form before version 2.0.19.

Solution:
Update the Horde Form subcomponent to version 2.0.19 or
later.

CVSS Score:
