Background

PHProjekt is a project management and coordination tool written in PHP.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-apps/phprojekt	< 5.2.1	>= 5.2.1	All supported architectures

Description

Alexios Fakos from n.runs AG has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in PHProjekt, including the execution of arbitrary SQL commands using unknown vectors (CVE-2007-1575), the execution of arbitrary PHP code using an unrestricted file upload (CVE-2007-1639), cross-site request forgeries using different modules (CVE-2007-1638), and a cross-site scripting attack using unkown vectors (CVE-2007-1576).

Impact

An authenticated user could elevate their privileges by exploiting the vulnerabilities described above. Note that the magic_quotes_gpc PHP configuration setting must be set to "off" to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All PHProjekt users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phprojekt-5.2.1"
