How to Fix CVE-2010-3313

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Egroupware/egroupware dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

egroupware/egroupware fixed: 1.6.003 
Upgrade egroupware/egroupware to 1.6.003
egroupware/egroupware fixed: 9.1.20100309 
Upgrade egroupware/egroupware to 9.1.20100309
egroupware/egroupware fixed: 9.2.20100309 
Upgrade egroupware/egroupware to 9.2.20100309
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for egroupware/egroupware

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2010-3313, inspect your project dependencies for Egroupware/egroupware:

inspect dependencies for egroupware/egroupware

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Egroupware/egroupware in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.003), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Egroupware/egroupware, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

`phpgwapi/js/fckeditor/editor/dialog/fck_spellerpages/spellerpages/serverscripts/spellchecker.php` in EGroupware 1.4.001+.002; 1.6.001+.002 and possibly other versions before 1.6.003; and EPL 9.1 before 9.1.20100309 and 9.2 before 9.2.20100309; allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) aspell_path or (2) spellchecker_lang parameters.
