Since the vulnerability requires authenticated users with system permissions, restricting access to trusted users and monitoring for suspicious activity is advisable. Check the vendor advisory or official sources for any forthcoming patches or updates.
Description
Xerte Online Toolkits versions up to 3.15.5 contain a remote code execution vulnerability. Authenticated users with system permissions can exploit this flaw by importing a specially crafted language pack ZIP file containing a .inc file. This file can then be accessed via the language parameter to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, leading to full compromise.
