Description

This module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in SugarCRM
which could be abused to allow authenticated SugarCRM users to execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the webserver.

The dangerous unserialize() exists in the 'include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php'
script, which is called with user controlled data from the 'current_query_by_page'
parameter. The exploit abuses the __destruct() method from the SugarTheme class
to write arbitrary PHP code to a 'pathCache.php' on the web root.
