How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2017-14077, inspect your project dependencies for Dapphp/securimage:

inspect dependencies for dapphp/securimage

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Dapphp/securimage in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.6.6), 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 Dapphp/securimage, 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

HTML Injection in Securimage prior to 3.6.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML into an e-mail message body via the `$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']` parameter to `example_form.ajax.php` or `example_form.php`.
