SugarCRM versions prior to 7.9.5.0, 8.0.2, and 8.2.0 suffer from a PHP code injection vulnerability. User input passed through key values of the 'list_value' JSON parameter is not properly sanitized before being used to save PHP code when adding/saving dropdowns through the Module Builder. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires admin privileges.
