- Vulnerability: Arbitrary PHP code execution
Description
This module enables you to manage cron jobs.
The module allows users with the permission “Administer elysia cron” to execute arbitrary PHP code via cron.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “Administer elysia cron”. This permission is not marked as “restricted”.

Versions affected
