CVE-2024-36414
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSuiteCRM is an open-source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to versions 7.14.4 and 8.6.1, a vulnerability in the connectors file verification allows for a server-side request forgery attack. Versions 7.14.4 and 8.6.1 contain a fix for this issue.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSuiteCRM versions prior to 7.14.4 and 8.6.1 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the connectors file verification functionality. The vulnerability allows attackers to make the server perform malicious requests to internal or external resources due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs or file paths in the connector functionality.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SuiteCRM versionLocate the version information in the SuiteCRM admin interface under 'About' or in a version file in the installation root directoryAffected if The version is below 7.14.4, or is 8.0.0 through 8.6.0 (versions 8.x less than 8.6.1)
-
Confirm connector module is accessibleVerify that the Connectors module is enabled and accessible in the SuiteCRM instance - typically found in the admin panel under Connectors settingsAffected if The Connectors module is enabled and user-accessible in the affected version range
-
Check connector file verification endpointLocate the connector file verification functionality within the Connectors module - this is where user-supplied URLs or file paths can be submittedAffected if The connector file verification feature accepts user-supplied URLs or file paths without proper validation
A user is affected if their SuiteCRM version is below 7.14.4 or is 8.0.0 through 8.6.0 AND the Connectors module with file verification capability is enabled and accessible.
