CVE-2026-29098 Details
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.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in SuiteCRM versions prior to 7.15.1 and 8.9.3. The issue arises in the 'action_exportCustom' function within 'modules/ModuleBuilder/controller.php', where path traversal sequences in the '$modules' and '$name' parameters are not properly sanitized. These parameters are later used in the 'exportCustom' function in 'modules/ModuleBuilder/MB/MBPackage.php' to construct file paths for reading and writing. This vulnerability allows users with access to the ModuleBuilder module, typically administrators, to create requests that copy the contents of any accessible directory on the host into the web root, making them publicly readable. Affected directories include system files and web server root directories, potentially exposing sensitive information such as secrets and environment variables.
Users can upgrade to SuiteCRM versions 7.15.1 or 8.9.3 to address this vulnerability.
