Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53677)

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:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber


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

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in filenames during file upload within Action File Upload Interceptor. A remote attacker can upload a specially crafted file to the server into an arbitrary directory.

Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to upload an arbitrary file and execute it on the server, leading to a full system compromise.
