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 Nonfiction/nterchange, 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

A vulnerability was found in nterchange up to 4.1.0. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects the function getContent of the file `app/controllers/code_caller_controller.php`. The manipulation of the argument q with the input %5C%27%29;phpinfo%28%29;/* leads to code injection. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 4.1.1 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is fba7d89176fba8fe289edd58835fe45080797d99. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-217187.
