Summary
FreeScout is a self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Versions prior to 1.8.128 are vulnerable to OS Command Injection in the /public/tools.php source file. The value of the php_path parameter is being executed as an OS command by the shell_exec function, without validating it. This allows an adversary to execute malicious OS commands on the server. A practical demonstration of the successful command injection attack extracted the /etc/passwd file of the server. This represented the complete compromise of the server hosting the FreeScout application. This attack requires an attacker to know the `App_Key` of the application. This limitation makes the Attack Complexity to be High. If an attacker gets hold of the `App_Key`, the attacker can compromise the Complete server on which the application is deployed. Version 1.8.128 contains a patch for this issue.

      "value": "FreeScout es una mesa de ayuda autohospedada y un buz\u00f3n de correo compartido. Las versiones anteriores a la 1.8.128 son vulnerables a la inyecci\u00f3n de comandos del sistema operativo en el archivo fuente /public/tools.php. El valor del par\u00e1metro php_path se ejecuta como un comando del sistema operativo mediante la funci\u00f3n shell_exec, sin validarlo. Esto permite que un adversario ejecute comandos maliciosos del sistema operativo en el servidor. Una demostraci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica del exitoso ataque de inyecci\u00f3n de comandos extrajo el archivo /etc/passwd del servidor. Esto represent\u00f3 el compromiso total del servidor que aloja la aplicaci\u00f3n FreeScout. Este ataque requiere que un atacante conozca la \"App_Key\" de la aplicaci\u00f3n. Esta limitaci\u00f3n hace que la Complejidad del Ataque sea Alta. Si un atacante obtiene la \"App_Key\", puede comprometer el servidor completo en el que se implementa la aplicaci\u00f3n. La versi\u00f3n 1.8.128 contiene un parche para este problema."
