Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions activeCollab versions prior to 1.5.2

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code via the message[message text] parameter to "chat/add message". This is due to improper handling when executing the preg replace function with the eval switch in the "functions/html to text.php" file of the Chat module.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.5.2, update to version 1.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Chat module or disabling the html to text.php function until a patch is available. Avoid using the message[message text] parameter in the "chat/add message" endpoint until the issue is resolved.
