Saw a couple of these in some logs today. I searched on the forum for vtiger and security but didnt find a complaint. Not sure if this has been reported yet:
access_log:188.161.240.5 - - [16/Jul/2012:12:34:17 -0700] "GET /vtigercrm/modules/com_vtiger_workflow/sortfieldsjson.php?module_name=../../../../../../../..//etc/asterisk/sip-vicidial.conf%00 HTTP/1.1" 200 92724 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1"

They are trying to get sip credentials from the file.

password protect your vtiger installation folder (so all your agents will require a single password to get in, but noone outside your organization can get in the folder at all).

We do this same thing for phpMyAdmin, you can modify it for the vTiger directory easily:

Code: Select all

nano +75 /etc/apache2/default-server.conf


below cgi-bin directory setup,

Code: Select all

# Protect phpMyAdmin folder from attacks
# use htpasswd2 /srv/www/passwd/phpmyadmin newuser to add new users (and delete unauthorized users from that file)
# requires /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to take effect
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin>
 AllowOverride None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "phpMyAdmin -- Authorized Managers Only -- "
 AuthUserFile /srv/www/passwd/phpmyadmin
 Require valid-user
</Directory>

Code: Select all

mkdir /srv/www/passwd

This will "create" the pwd file (note the "-c"):

Code: Select all

htpasswd2 -c /srv/www/passwd/phpmyadmin admin

add more users to it (note the missing -c):

Code: Select all

htpasswd2 /srv/www/passwd/phpmyadmin username

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Or remove them hehe
