Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-29102 is an authenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CWE-94) affecting SuiteCRM, an open-source enterprise Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. The flaw exists in SuiteCRM modules prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

An attacker with high-level authenticated privileges, such as administrative access, can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

SuiteCRM versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 address the issue with patches. Additional details are available in the SuiteCRM 7.15.x release documentation at https://docs.suitecrm.com/admin/releases/7.15.x and the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/SuiteCRM/SuiteCRM/security/advisories/GHSA-mr5v-wcgr-98qr.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
