Description:
Ricky Zhou has discovered some vulnerabilities in Numara FootPrints, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to various parameters e.g. "transcriptFile" in /MRcgi/MRchat.pl and "LOADFILE" in /MRcgi/MRABLoad2.pl is not properly sanitised before being used in a call to "open()". This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary commands using the "|" character.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 8.0 on Linux. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
-- Numara FootPrints 8.x --
Update to version 8.1.
-- Numara FootPrints 7.x --
Apply patches.
