Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5247)

CWE-ID: CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

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


2) Use of default credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5245)

CWE-ID: CWE-1392 - Use of Default Credentials

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to the use of default MySQL credentials within the product installer. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5246)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists within the product installer due to the use of a vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.


4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5505)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the UpLoadServlet class. A remote user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system, leading to arbitrary code execution.
