CVE-2020-8644 Details
Description
PlaySMS before 1.4.3 does not sanitize inputs from a malicious string.
A server-side template injection vulnerability has been identified in PlaySMS versions prior to 1.4.3. This vulnerability allows for remote code execution and is caused by the application not properly sanitizing input before processing it with a custom PHP template system called TPL. The issue arises when a malicious payload is injected into the username field during the login process. This payload is then stored in a TPL template, and when the template is rendered a second time, it executes the injected code.
Users are advised to update to PlaySMS version 1.4.3 or later.
