Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24217)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload. A remote attacker can upload a malicious file and execute it on the server.

2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24217)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can upload malicious firmware and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

3) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24217)
