SugarCRM · Multiple Products

What it is

Multiple SugarCRM products contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the EmailTemplates. Using a specially crafted request, custom PHP code can be injected through the EmailTemplates.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 80%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2023-02-23) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions.
