Description
SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, the `action_exportCustom` function in `modules/ModuleBuilder/controller.php` fails to properly neutralize path traversal sequences in the `$modules` and `$name` parameters. Both parameters later reach the `exportCustom` function in `modules/ModuleBuilder/MB/MBPackage.php` where they are both utilized in constructing s paths for file reading and writing. As such, it is possible for a user with access to the ModuleBuilder module, generally an administrator, to craft a request that can copy the content of any readable directory on the underlying host into the web root, making them readable. As the `ModuleBuilder` module is part of both major versions 7 and 8, both current major versions are affected. This vulnerability allows an attacker to copy any readable directory into the web root. This includes system files like the content of `/etc, or the root directory of the web server, potentially exposing secrets and environment variables. Versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 patch the issue.
Analysis
Path traversal in SuiteCRM's ModuleBuilder module (versions prior to 7.15.1 and 8.9.3) allows authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files from the server by manipulating the `$modules` and `$name` parameters, which are improperly validated before being used in file operations. An attacker with ModuleBuilder access can exploit this to copy sensitive files from any readable directory into the web root, exposing their contents through the web server.
