Critical · 9.1 Public exploit CVE-2026-33656 EUVD-2026-25081

EspoCRM vulnerable to authenticated RCE via Formula with path traversal in attachment `sourceId`, exploitable by admin user

Published Apr 22, 2026 · Updated Apr 23, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

EspoCRM is an open source customer relationship management application. Prior to version 9.3.4, EspoCRM's built-in formula scripting engine allowing updating attachment's sourceId thus allowing an authenticated admin to overwrite the `sourceId` field on `Attachment` entities. Because `sourceId` is concatenated directly into a file path with no sanitization in `EspoUploadDir::getFilePath()`, an attacker can redirect any file read or write operation to an arbitrary path within the web server's `open_basedir` scope. Version 9.3.4 fixes the issue.
