Internal reference: MWB-2261
Type: CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command (‘OS Command Injection’))
Component: backend
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX App Suite backend 7.10.6-rev50
First fixed revision: OX App Suite backend 7.10.6-rev51
Discovery date: 2023-08-08
Solution date: 2023-09-14
Disclosure date: 2023-09-19
CVE: CVE-2023-29048
CVSS: 8.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Details:
OXMF templates allow remote code execution. A component for parsing OXMF templates could be abused to execute arbitrary system commands that would be executed as the non-privileged runtime user.

Risk:
Users and attackers could run system commands with limited privilege to gain unauthorized access to confidential information and potentially violate integrity by modifying resources. No publicly available exploits are known.

Solution:
The template engine has been reconfigured to deny execution of harmful commands on a system level.

CVE: CVE-2023-29050
CVSS: 7.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:L)

Details:
LDAP filter injection vulnerability in Contacts Provider LDAP. The optional “LDAP contacts provider” could be abused by privileged users to inject LDAP filter strings that allow to access content outside of the intended hierarchy.

Risk:
Unauthorized users could break confidentiality of information in the directory and potentially cause high load on the directory server, leading to denial of service. No publicly available exploits are known.

Solution:
Encoding has been added for user-provided fragments that are used when constructing the LDAP query.

Details:
XSS in upsell portal widget. The “upsell” widget at the portal page could be abused to inject arbitrary script code.

Risk:
Attackers that manage to lure users to a compromised account, or gain temporary access to a legitimate account, could inject script code to gain persistent code execution capabilities under a trusted domain. No publicly available exploits are known.

Solution:
User input for this widget is now sanitized to avoid malicious content the be processed.
