FreePBX is an open-source web-based graphical user interface. FreePBX 15, 16, and 17 endpoints are vulnerable due to insufficiently sanitized user-supplied data allowing unauthenticated access to FreePBX Administrator leading to arbitrary database manipulation and remote code execution. This issue has been patched in endpoint versions 15.0.66, 16.0.89, and 17.0.3.

FreePBX, when restapps (aka Rest Phone Apps) 15.0.19.87, 15.0.19.88, 16.0.18.40, or 16.0.18.41 is installed, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, as exploited in the wild in December 2021. The fixed versions are 15.0.20 and 16.0.19.

Sangoma FreePBX 115.0.16.26 and below, 14.0.13.11 and below, 13.0.197.13 and below have Incorrect Access Control.

The restapps (aka Rest Phone apps) module for Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact 13, 14, and 15 through 15.0.19.2 allows remote code execution via a URL variable to an AMI command.

A vulnerability was found in FreePBX cdr 14.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function ajaxHandler of the file ucp/Cdr.class.php. The manipulation of the argument limit/offset leads to sql injection. Upgrading to version 14.0.5.21 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is f1a9eea2dfff30fb99d825bac194a676a82b9ec8. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-216771.

FreePBX is an open-source web-based graphical user interface. From 17.0.19.11 to before 17.0.21, authenticated users of the Administrator Control Panel (ACP) can run arbitrary shell commands by maliciously changing languages of the framework module. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.0.21.

FreePBX 16 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the API module that allows attackers with valid session credentials to execute arbitrary commands. Attackers can exploit the 'generatedocs' endpoint by crafting malicious POST requests with bash command injection to establish remote shell access.

Sangoma Technologies FreePBX before cdr 15.0.18, 16.0.40, 15.0.16, and 16.0.17 was discovered to contain an access control issue via a modified parameter value, e.g., changing extension=self to extension=101.

Sangoma FreePBX 1805 through 2203 on Linux contains hardcoded credentials for the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI), which allows remote attackers to reconfigure Asterisk and make external and internal calls via HTTP and WebSocket requests sent to the API.

The FreePBX module tts (Text to Speech) for FreePBX, an open-source web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that manages Asterisk. Versions prior to 16.0.5 and 17.0.5 are vulnerable to SQL injection by authenticated users with administrator access. Authenticated users with administrative access to the Administrator Control Panel (ACP) can leverage this SQL injection vulnerability to extract sensitive information from the database and execute code on the system as the asterisk user with chained elevation to root privileges. Users should upgrade to version 16.0.5 or 17.0.5 to receive a fix.

FreePBX is an open source GUI for managing Asterisk. In versions prior to 16.0.68.39 for FreePBX 16 and versions prior to 17.0.18.38 for FreePBX 17, a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability is present on the Asterisk HTTP Status page. The Asterisk HTTP status page is exposed by FreePBX and is available by default on version 16 via any bound IP address at port 8088. By default on version 17, the binding is only to localhost IP, making it significantly less vulnerable. The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to obtain cookies from logged-in users, allowing them to hijack a session of an administrative user. The theft of admin session cookies allows attackers to gain control over the FreePBX admin interface, enabling them to access sensitive data, modify system configurations, create backdoor accounts, and cause service disruption. This issue has been patched in version 16.0.68.39 for FreePBX 16 and version 17.0.18.38 for FreePBX 17.

FreePBX is an open-source web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that manages Asterisk. Prior to versions 16.0.45 and 17.0.24 of the FreePBX framework, an authenticated local privilege escalation exists in the deprecated FreePBX startup script amportal. In the deprecated amportal utility, the lookup for the freepbxengine file occurs in /etc/asterisk/ directories. Typically, these are configured by FreePBX as writable by the asterisk user and any members of the asterisk group. This means that a member of the asterisk group can add their own freepbxengine file in /etc/asterisk/ and upon amportal executing, it would exec that file with root permissions (even though the file was created and placed by a non-root user). Version 16.0.45 and 17.0.24 contain a fix for the issue. Other mitigation strategies are also available. Confirm only trusted local OS system users are members of the asterisk group. Look for suspicious files in the /etc/asterisk/ directory (via Admin -> Config Edit in the GUI, or via CLI). Double-check that livedangerously = no is set (or unconfigured, as the default is no) in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file. Eliminate any unsafe custom use of Asterisk dial plan applications and functions that potentially can manipulate the file system, e.g., System(), FILE(), etc.

FreePBX is an open-source web-based graphical user interface. In FreePBX 15, 16, and 17, malicious connections to the Administrator Control Panel web interface can cause the uninstall function to be triggered for certain modules. This function drops the module's database tables, which is where most modules store their configuration. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.0.38, 16.0.41, and 17.0.21.

The callmestartcall function in recordings/misc/callmepage.php in FreePBX 2.9, 2.10, and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the callmenum parameter in a c action.

admin/libraries/view.functions.php in FreePBX 2.9 before 2.9.0.14, 2.10 before 2.10.1.15, 2.11 before 2.11.0.23, and 12 before 12.0.1alpha22 does not restrict the set of functions accessible to the API handler, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the function and args parameters to admin/config.php.

A vulnerability was discovered in FreePBX 17.0.19.17. It does not verify the type of uploaded (valid FreePBX module) files, allowing high-privilege administrators to insert unwanted files. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that there is no risk beyond what high-privilege administrators are intentionally allowed to do.

In Sangoma FreePBX 13 through 15 and sysadmin (aka System Admin) 13.0.92 through 15.0.13.6 modules have a Remote Command Execution vulnerability that results in Privilege Escalation.

DISPUTED FreePBX 10.13.66-32bit and 14.0.1.24 (SNG7-PBX-64bit-1712-2) allow post-authentication SQL injection via the order parameter. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because it is intentional that a user can "directly modify SQL tables ... [or] run shell scripts ... once ... logged in to the administration interface; there is no need to try to find input validation errors."

Directory traversal vulnerability in page.recordings.php in the System Recordings component in the configuration interface in FreePBX 2.8.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated administrators to create arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the usersnum parameter to admin/config.php, as demonstrated by creating a .php file under the web root.

An issue was discovered in Manager 13.x before 13.0.2.6 and 15.x before 15.0.6 before FreePBX 14.0.10.3. In the Manager module form (html\admin\modules\manager\views\form.php), an unsanitized managerdisplay variable coming from the URL is reflected in HTML, leading to XSS. It can be requested via GET request to /config.php?type=tool&display=manager.

A vulnerability was found in FreePBX arimanager up to 13.0.5.3 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Views Handler. The manipulation of the argument dataurl leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 13.0.5.4 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is 199dea7cc7020d3c469a86a39fbd80f5edd3c5ab. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. VDB-216878 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

FreePBX 2.5.1, and other 2.4.x, 2.5.x, and pre-release 2.6.x versions, generates different error messages for a failed login attempt depending on whether the user account exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.

In userman 13.0.76.43 through 15.0.20 in Sangoma FreePBX, XSS exists in the User Management screen of the Administrator web site. An attacker with access to the User Control Panel application can submit malicious values in some of the time/date formatting and time-zone fields. These fields are not being properly sanitized. If this is done and a user (such as an admin) visits the User Management screen and views that user's profile, the XSS payload will render and execute in the context of the victim user's account.

In userman 13.0.76.43 through 15.0.20 in Sangoma FreePBX, XSS exists in the user management screen of the Administrator web site, i.e., the/admin/config.php?display=userman URI. An attacker with sufficient privileges can edit the Display Name of a user and embed malicious XSS code. When another user (such as an admin) visits the main User Management screen, the XSS payload will render and execute in the context of the victim user's account.

An XSS Injection vulnerability exists in Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact 13, 14, and 15 within the Call Event Logging report screen in the cel module at the admin/config.php?display=cel URI via date fields. This affects cel through 13.0.26.9, 14.x through 14.0.2.14, and 15.x through 15.0.15.4.

An XSS Injection vulnerability exists in Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact 13, 14, and 15 within the Debug/Test page of the Superfecta module at the admin/config.php?display=superfecta URI. This affects Superfecta through 13.0.4.7, 14.x through 14.0.24, and 15.x through 15.0.2.20.

An issue was discovered in FreePBX core before 3.0.122.43, 14.0.18.34, and 5.0.1beta4. By crafting a request for adding Asterisk modules, an attacker is able to store JavaScript commands in a module name.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in FreePBX 2.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) context parameter to panel/indexamp.php or (2) panel/dhtml/index.php; (3) clid or (4) clidname parameters to panel/flash/mypage.php; (5) PATHINFO to admin/views/freepbxreload.php; or (6) login parameter to recordings/index.php.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in FreePBX 2.5.1, and other 2.4.x, 2.5.x, and pre-release 2.6.x versions, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) display parameter to reports.php, the (2) order and (3) extdisplay parameters to config.php, and the (4) sort parameter to recordings/index.php. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
