SugarCRM 12.2.0 Shell Upload Vulnerability

-----------------------------------------------------------------
SugarCRM <= 12.2.0 (Notes) Unrestricted File Upload Vulnerability
-----------------------------------------------------------------


[-] Software Link:

[-] Affected Versions:

Version 12.2.0 and prior versions.
Version 12.0.2 and prior versions.
Version 11.0.5 and prior versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

When handling the "save" action within the "Notes" module the 
application allows uploading
of any kind of file into the /upload/ directory. This one is protected 
by the main SugarCRM
.htaccess file, i.e. it doesn't allow access/execution for PHP files. 
However, this behaviour
can be overridden if a subdirectory contains another .htaccess file. So, 
an attacker can
leverage the vulnerability to firstly upload a new .htaccess file and 
then to upload the
PHP code they want to execute.
