Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as HTTP Request/Response Smuggling (CWE-444), which allows attackers to manipulate HTTP request interpretation between frontend and backend servers. In Perfex Crm < 3.2.1, an authenticated attacker can send a crafted HTTP POST request to the affected upload_sales_file endpoint. By providing malicious input in the rel_id parameter, combined with improper input validation, the attacker can bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files to directories of their choice, potentially leading to remote code execution or server compromise.

Attack Technique

HTTP request smuggling exploits inconsistencies in how front-end and back-end servers parse HTTP message boundaries.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
