DescriptionNVD

HRConvert2 is a self-hosted, drag-and-drop & nosql file conversion server & share tool. Prior to 3.3.8, the sanitizeString() function in convertCore.php is missing backtick (`) and tab (\t) from its strip list. User input then reaches shell_exec(), where the shell interprets these characters and commands within filenames execute. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.3.8.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in HRConvert2 self-hosted file conversion server allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames. The sanitizeString() function in convertCore.php fails to filter backticks and tab characters before passing user input to shell_exec(), enabling command injection that executes in the web server context (www-data). …
