CVE-2021-42840: Salesagility Suitecrm

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 58.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

SuiteCRM before 7.11.19 allows remote code execution via the system settings Log File Name setting. In certain circumstances involving admin account takeover, logger_file_name can refer to an attacker-controlled PHP file under the web root, because only the all-lowercase PHP file extensions were blocked. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-28328.
