WookTeam: Remote code execution in task export interface
Summary
WookTeam up to version 1.6.6 contains a code injection flaw (CWE-94) in the project task export endpoint /api/project/task/export. The base64-decoded data parameter is passed into an eval() call, so an attacker can inject arbitrary PHP code and execute commands on the server. The public write-up states that a registered user account is sufficient and that public registration is enabled by default, while the CVSS vector assumes no privileges are required. A public proof of concept is referenced, so internet-exposed instances should be treated as high priority.
Affected
- WookTeam 1.6.6 and earlier (master and 1.6.x branches, per the public write-up)
Fixed in
Unknown.
Workaround
- Block or restrict access to /api/project/task/export at the reverse proxy or WAF until a fix is available (general measure, not vendor-confirmed).
- Limit the WookTeam instance to the internal network or VPN.
- Disable public registration if it is enabled.
Exploitation
- CISA SSVC: exploitation status 'poc', automatable: yes, technical impact: total.
- A public write-up with step-by-step reproduction exists (fangtang7/CVE).
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild was found in the research notes; KEV status is unverified.
- Authentication requirement is unclear: CVSS states PR:N, the write-up requires a registered account.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all WookTeam instances, including Docker deployments, and check whether any are reachable from the internet.
- Restrict access to the endpoint or take affected instances offline until a fixed release is confirmed.
- Review web server logs for requests to /api/project/task/export, especially with unusual data values.
- Check for unexpected files or processes on the server (for example web shells).
- Monitor the vendor and upstream project for a fix and update as soon as one is available.

Original description (NVD)
WookTeam v1.6.6 and before is vulnerable to RCE in the project task export interface /api/project/task/export. The data parameter is base64-decoded and passed directly into the string2array() function in app/Module/Base.php, which executes eval("\$array = $data;") whenever the decoded string starts with array. An attacker can inject arbitrary PHP code into the eval call and achieve RCE.
