CISA includes Oracle and SugarCRM products in software exploit catalog
Status: 02/03/2023
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added two Oracle E-Business and SugarCRM security vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog in early February.
Affected are products of the Oracle Web App Desktop Integration through which attackers gained unauthenticated network access via http protocols.
SugarCRM’s CRM application was included in the catalog because specific php code could be injected into the systems due to a missing input validation.

SugarCRM security vulnerability
Status: 01/12/2023
The developers of SugarCRM have developed and deployed hotfixes after the exploit became known last week. They are available for the affected Sugar Sell, Serve, Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate systems. Version 12.0 hotfix 91155 no longer contains the flaw. Provided the instance has SugarIdentity enabled, this should have successfully prevented attacks.
The underlying vulnerability consists of a lack of input validation in email templates, allowing manipulated requests to sneak in custom PHP code. This is how crypto-mining software is pushed onto the open systems in order to use it to obtain cryptocurrencies.
