Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires reaching the Translation Tool component and invoking its write_translations function in application/controllers/ToolController.class.php with a manipulated 'lang' argument. The CVSS vector's PR:H means a high-privilege (administrative) authenticated session on the Feng Office instance is required - this administrative gate is the primary limiting factor and takes this out of reach of anonymous remote attackers. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and complexity is low (AC:L) once that access is held. Affected versions are Feng Office up to 3.11.13.11 and up to 4.2.1.2; no fixed version is given in the available data and the vendor did not respond, so no vendor mitigation is confirmed.

Impact

This is a genuine but constrained issue, not an emergency. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N, base 5.1 Medium) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that nonetheless requires high privileges (PR:H) - meaning an already-authenticated administrative-level user of the Translation Tool, not an anonymous remote attacker. This PR:H gate is the single largest risk-reducer and is consistent with the fact that write_translations is an administrative feature. No EPSS score and no CISA KEV entry are present in the input, and the SSVC-style priority label from the source is 'this_month' (not act_now or emergency), all pointing to low-to-moderate urgency rather than a drop-everything priority. A public PoC reference exists (a GitHub gist) but is marked reference-only and not verified as working exploit code, so exploitation feasibility is suggested but not proven. The vendor was contacted and did not respond, so no authoritative patch or confirmation exists - a meaningful gap. Net: a legitimately interesting code-injection bug (CWE-94) whose real-world risk is capped by the administrative-privilege requirement and the niche footprint of the product; the single disclosing source (VulDB) and unverified PoC warrant independent corroboration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds high-privilege access to a Feng Office instance reaches the Translation Tool and submits a crafted value in the 'lang' argument to the write_translations function, which is written into application code and interpreted as PHP (CWE-94). Because the Translation Tool persists translations to code files, the injected payload executes within the application. A public PoC reference (GitHub gist) exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and exploitation is low-complexity (AC:L) once the required privileges are held.

Monitor Track and reassess. Why: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9).

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 08, 2026

Code injection in the Translation Tool component of Feng Office (versions up to and including 3.11.13.11 and up to and including 4.2.1.2) allows an attacker holding a high-privilege, administrative session to manipulate the 'lang' argument passed to the write_translations function in application/controllers/ToolController.class.php and inject code that the PHP application will execute. The administrative authentication gate (PR:H in the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector, AV:N/AC:L/UI:N) is the primary limiting factor and puts the flaw out of reach of anonymous remote attackers, though impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is high once that access is held. No CISA KEV entry or confirmed active exploitation is associated with this CVE; a public PoC reference exists on a GitHub gist, but it is not verified as working exploit code, and the issue is rated for remediation within this month rather than as an emergency.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at the time of analysis: the vendor was contacted about the disclosure and did not respond, and no fixed version is listed for either the 3.11.x or 4.2.x branch, so upgrading alone is not currently an available fix. Compensating controls should centre on the administrative prerequisite that gates exploitation - restrict administrative logins on Feng Office to trusted networks or a VPN and enforce strong, unique credentials for every account with access to the Tool controller, accepting the operational cost that administrators lose convenience access from arbitrary locations. Block or restrict requests routed to the Translation Tool (the tool controller entry point that reaches write_translations) at the reverse proxy or WAF, understanding that this disables translation-management functionality for legitimate administrators, and consider removing or disabling the Translation Tool component entirely on installations that do not use it. Because the sink writes executable PHP into the application tree, audit translation and language files for unexpected PHP content and review the web-accessible writable paths, running the application with least filesystem privilege so the web server user cannot write into directories containing executable code - a change that may break in-application translation editing. Monitor the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/432804 for a vendor fix and re-test after any release in the 3.11.x or 4.2.x lines appears.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Feng Office is a PHP-based web collaboration/groupware application built on an MVC framework in which request parameters are routed to controller classes under application/controllers/. The affected endpoint is the Translation Tool, implemented by ToolController.class.php, whose write_translations function takes a caller-supplied 'lang' argument and uses it in the process of writing translation data - the classic CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) pattern in PHP, where user-controlled input reaches a code-generation or file-write sink without adequate neutralisation, so that injected PHP is stored and later executed by the interpreter. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:fengoffice:feng_office:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product line without version granularity, and the disclosed version ceilings are 3.11.13.11 and 4.2.1.2. The exact trigger mechanics - including how the 'lang' value is transformed into executable content and which file paths receive it - are not described in the available sources; what is confirmed is the remote, low-complexity nature of the call path once an administrative session exists, and that no user interaction is required.

PHP code injection via write_translations yields code execution (C/I/A:H), but the administrative Translation Tool feature requires high privileges, so PR:H with network vector and low complexity.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

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