  • The new release fixes 2 serious security problems, many bugs and implements SyncML 1.2
  • Nahuel Grisolia from CYBSEC S.A. Security Systems found two security problems in EGroupware...
  • one is a serious remote command execution (allowing to run arbitrary command on the web server by simply issuing a HTTP request!).
  • the other a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS).
  • both require NO valid EGroupware account and work without being logged in!
  • Vulnerable are all EGroupware version incl. 1.4.001+.002, 1.6.001+.002 and the commercial EPL versions 9.1+9.2!
  • The problem is fixed in EGroupware's SVN (for 1.6 and trunk) and there will be a coordinated release of a new EGroupware version 1.6.003 by
  • Stylite GmbH / EGroupware project and publication of the exploits by CYBSEC S.A. on March 9th.
