Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ATutor versions 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP functions. This is possibly due to an eval injection vulnerability, where an attacker can make a direct request to the "forum.inc.php" endpoint with a modified
addslashes parameter. The attack can be performed by setting either the asc or desc parameters.Recommendations
For ATutor versions 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1, consider restricting access to the "forum.inc.php" endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
addslashes parameter with the asc or desc parameters set in the "forum.inc.php" endpoint. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
