Title: CSVForm Remote Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
CSVForm is a Perl cgi script for Linux and Unix systems used to format input from a cgi form into a comma separated value text file, commonly used for later import into a database.
The file to which comma separated data will be written is accepted by CSVForm as an input parameter. This parameter is not parsed for shell meta characters. A maliciously formed URL submitted to the script could contain additional shell commands, which are passed to the shell during a file open command. These additional commands would then be executed as the web server user, generally 'nobody'. As a result, the attacker may execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
Affected Products:
- Mutasem Abudahab CSVForm 0.1.0
- Mutasem Abudahab CSVFormPlus 1.0.0
