Summary

FreePBX before versions 16.0.39 and 17.0.7 allows users authenticated via User Control Panel (UCP) to execute arbitrary commands on the PBX as the webserver user (typically asterisk) using specially crafted HTTP strings. Authenticated access to UCP is required. The issue is due to insufficient sanitization of certain URL parameters used by UCP, allowing binaries to be executed on the host server by carefully chaining commands.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user with UCP access can execute system commands on the server, potentially leading to privilege escalation and full system compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade FreePBX to version 16.0.39 or 17.0.7 or later to fix the vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to versions 16.0.39 and 17.0.7, users authenticated via User Control Panel (UCP) are able to execute arbitrary commands on the PBX as the webserver user (typically asterisk) using specially crafted HTTP strings. Authenticated access to UCP is required. Note that this is often more common for less-privileged users to have UCP access vs. the Administrator Control Panel (ACP) access (which is usually FreePBX higher-level administrator accounts only). Insufficient sanitization of certain URL parameters utilized by UCP did not fully account for malicious strings in these fields. This could result in binaries being executed on the host server by carefully chaining commands. This issue has been patched in versions 16.0.39 and 17.0.7.
