CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Superfecta module in FreePBX prior to versions 16.0.40 and 17.0.7 is vulnerable to a critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw due to unsafe inclusion of arbitrary PHP files, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code with web server user privileges. This vulnerability can be exploited when combined with other functionalities, such as arbitrary directory creation and file uploads that expose full paths. Organizations using affected versions of FreePBX should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation risks.

Original NVD Description
FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to versions 16.0.40 and 17.0.7, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the superfecta module due to unsafe inclusion of arbitrary PHP files, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server with the privileges of the web server user. Authentication with a known username is required. The vulnerability is rooted in the options and save_options cases in the Superfecta module's AJAX handler. The code dynamically includes PHP files from the sources/ directory based on user-supplied input. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code when combined with arbitrary directory creation (e.g., via the backup module) and file uploads that reveal full paths (e.g., via the soundlang module). This issue has been patched in versions 16.0.40 and 17.0.7.
