`# Tuleap - Command Injection in Project Wiki  
  
CVE: CVE-2017-7981  
  
CVSSv3: 9.4 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:C)  
  
Versions affected: >= 8.3 and <= 9.6.99.86  
  
## Introduction  
  
Tuleap is a Libre suite to plan, track, code and collaborate on software  
projects. Tuleap helps development teams to build awesome applications,  
better, faster, easier.  
  
## Background  
  
Tuleap uses PHPWiki as a plugin to provide a weak feature for  
projects. The version of PHPWiki used is 1.3.10. This version contains a  
command injection vulnerability in the SyntaxHighlighter plugin. Other  
applications that use PHPWiki similar to Tuleap will also be affected  
by this issue.  
  
The latest version of PHPWiki is 1.5.5 and is no longer vulnerable to this  
issue.  
  
## Vulnerability  
  
Authenticated users, including unprivileged users, with access to a  
project containing a wiki, can exploit this command injection  
(CI) vulnerability to gain remote unauthorised access to the server  
hosting the Tuleap web application.  
  
RCE is achieved by entering a SyntaxHighlighter plugin directive in a  
new wiki page on any wiki available in any project. The SyntaxHighligter  
plugin in vulnerable versions of PHPWiki passes the `syntax` argument  
to the `proc_open()` PHP builtin function which spawns a process in the  
operating system running the web application.  
  
## Versions Affected  
  
This vulnerability has existed in the version of PHPWiki used by the  
Tuleap project since at least version 8.3 through to 9.6.99.86.

The SyntaxHighligter plugin in vulnerable versions of PHPWiki passes the syntax argument to the proc_open() PHP builtin function which spawns a process in the operating system running the web application.  
  
The following is an example plugin directie which would cause the id(1) command to be executed on a Linux server running an affected version of Tuleap.  
  
<?plugin SyntaxHighlighter syntax="c;id"  
code to be highlighted  
?>
