Summary

Koha is vulnerable to OS command injection in the Task Scheduler deletion path. The jobid parameter passed to C4::Scheduler::remove_at_job is not validated, and Schedule::At::remove substitutes it into an atrm command string without quoting or escaping, executing it through a single-argument system() call that invokes the shell. An authenticated staff user with the tools => schedule_tasks permission can execute arbitrary OS commands as the Koha application user.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take control of the Koha application server, execute arbitrary code, and access data and the operating system. This can lead to full host compromise and further lateral movement.

Recommendation

Upgrade Koha to 24.11.20, 25.05.15, 25.11.09, or 26.05.04 (or the 26.11 branch). Restrict the schedule_tasks permission to trusted administrators and monitor for unusual scheduler invocations.

Original NVD description (English source)

Koha is vulnerable to OS command injection in the Task Scheduler deletion path. The tools/scheduler.pl handler accepts the jobid request parameter for op=cud-delete and passes it to C4::Scheduler::remove_at_job without validating it. Schedule::At::remove substitutes the supplied job ID into an atrm command string without quoting or escaping it and executes the command through a single-argument system() call, which invokes the shell. An authenticated staff user with the tools => schedule_tasks permission can therefore execute arbitrary operating-system commands as the Koha web/application user by supplying shell metacharacters in jobid. The issue is fixed in Koha 24.11.20, 25.05.15, 25.11.09, and 26.05.04, and in the 26.11 development branch.
