Damn! thank you for that information!
I haven't even thought about vulnerabilities in vtiger because I haven't used it.

People like me who dont use it can do a quick fix by disable access to vtigercrm/ with this command:
(and thus prevent other unknown exploits in vtiger to be accessed too!)
Code: Select all
chmod 000 /srv/www/htdocs/vtigercrm/


To make it accessible again you can use: chmod 755 /srv/www/htdocs/vtigercrm/

Thank you for posting this. That is one of the reasons we stopped including Vtiger on our vicibox ISOs. Most likely we will disable Vtiger integration features at some point in the future since they have not been updated i a couple years, and nobody wants to sponsor the upkeep costs of the integration(which are rather significant).
