Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Syslifters
Product: sysreptor

Description

SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. Prior to 2026.61, authenticated users of SysReptor Professional can upload image files whose formats cause image processing to invoke Ghostscript, allowing embedded PostScript to operate in the shared temporary directory. An attacker can combine that behavior with a race involving GnuPG configuration files in temporary subdirectories to cause GnuPG to copy attacker-controlled Python code into the application code directory. The injected code executes with the privileges of the SysReptor application process after a worker restart. The Community edition is not affected. Version 2026.58 contains a partial mitigation, and this issue is fully fixed in version 2026.61.

Technical Analysis

SysReptor Professional versions before 2026.61 allow authenticated users to upload image files that cause image processing to invoke Ghostscript with embedded PostScript code execution in a shared temporary directory. An attacker can exploit a race condition involving GnuPG configuration files in temporary subdirectories to cause GnuPG to copy malicious Python code into the application code directory. This injected code executes with the privileges of the SysReptor application process after a worker restart. The Community edition is unaffected. Version 2026.58 includes a partial mitigation, and version 2026.61 fully resolves the vulnerability.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SysReptor application process, potentially leading to full compromise of the application environment. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H).

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade SysReptor Professional to version 2026.61 or later to fully remediate this vulnerability. Version 2026.58 provides a partial mitigation but does not fully resolve the issue. No vendor advisory content is provided beyond this, so patch status is confirmed by the version information given.
