An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger these vulnerabilities.A directory traversal vulnerability exists within the adddir_name POST parameter.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2024-39786 presents critical security risk, a path traversal vulnerability rated CVSS 9.1. This could allow attackers to access or modify files outside intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or credentials. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict file upload functionality via WAF; (2) Implement allowlist-based file type validation; (3) Use chroot/containerization to limit filesystem access.
