Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Permissions, privileges, and access controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56337)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete mitigation for #VU101814(CVE-2024-50379) on a case insensitive file system with the default servlet write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false). A remote attacker can upload malicious files to the server and execute them compromising the system.

The mitigation bypass depends on the version of Java used on the system.
