      "value": "Vtiger CRM through 8.4.0 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the admin module import feature that allows administrator-level attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files by submitting a crafted zip archive through the ModuleManager import function, which extracts contents directly into the modules/ directory under the web root without validating file types beyond the manifest.xml descriptor. Attackers can place executable PHP files in the modules/ directory that become directly accessible via HTTP, bypassing Vtiger's authentication and authorization layer entirely since Apache resolves the path and invokes the PHP interpreter before the application routing layer is involved, resulting in a persistent web shell independent of the originating session."

      "value": "Vtiger CRM hasta la versión 8.4.0 contiene una vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código autenticada en la función de importación del módulo de administración que permite a atacantes con nivel de administrador cargar archivos PHP arbitrarios al enviar un archivo zip manipulado a través de la función de importación de ModuleManager, que extrae el contenido directamente en el directorio modules/ bajo la raíz web sin validar los tipos de archivo más allá del descriptor manifest.xml. Los atacantes pueden colocar archivos PHP ejecutables en el directorio modules/ que se vuelven directamente accesibles a través de HTTP, eludiendo por completo la capa de autenticación y autorización de Vtiger, ya que Apache resuelve la ruta e invoca el intérprete de PHP antes de que intervenga la capa de enrutamiento de la aplicación, lo que resulta en una web shell persistente independiente de la sesión de origen."
