What is CVE-2022-23940?
CVE-2022-23940 is a high-severity unsafe deserialization vulnerability in Salesagility Suitecrm, published on 7 Mar 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
SuiteCRM through 7.12.1 and 8.x through 8.0.1 allows Remote Code Execution. Authenticated users with access to the Scheduled Reports module can achieve this by leveraging PHP deserialization in the email_recipients property. By using a crafted request, they can create a malicious report, containing a PHP-deserialization payload in the email_recipients field. Once someone accesses this report, the backend will deserialize the content of the email_recipients field and the payload gets executed. Project dependencies include a number of interesting PHP deserialization gadgets (e.g., Monolog/RCE1 from phpggc) that can be used for Code Execution.
Weakness: CWE-502
