In modules/HELPBOT_MODULE in Budabot 0.6 through 4.0, lax syntax validation allows remote attackers to perform a command injection attack against the PHP daemon with a crafted command, resulting in a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by the "!calc 5 x 5" command. In versions before 3.0, modules/HELPBOT_MODULE/calc.php has the vulnerable code; in 3.0 and above, modules/HELPBOT_MODULE/HelpbotController.class.php has the vulnerable code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Budabot versions 0.6 through 4.0 had weak validation in the helpbot calculator feature. A remote user could send a crafted bot command that may inject commands into the PHP daemon, causing denial of service and possibly other unspecified impact. The public record does not provide a CVSS score or confirm active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to Budabot instances running versions 0.6 through 4.0 where remote or untrusted users can issue HELPBOT_MODULE calculator commands. The provided sources do not identify broader products, CPEs, default exposure, or hosted-service impact. Treat this as a targeted legacy-service risk, not a broad emergency based on current evidence. Prioritize if Budabot is exposed to untrusted users or supports operationally important chat automation, because denial of service is the clearest documented impact. Mitigation focus: Check Budabot project guidance for a fixed release or official workaround.; Inventory Budabot deployments and identify versions 0.6 through 4.0.; Restrict untrusted access to bot command channels until remediation is confirmed..
