Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability allows Remote Code Execution via file upload. This issue affects Pandora FMS: from 777 through 800
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Pandora FMS versions 777 through 800 enables authenticated administrators to upload malicious files and execute arbitrary code on the server. The vulnerability stems from inadequate file type validation during upload operations, allowing attackers with high-privilege credentials to bypass security controls. With a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 and attack complexity rated as low, this represents a significant risk for organizations using affected versions, though exploitation requires prior administrative access to the monitoring platform.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is rooted in CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), a common weakness in web applications that fail to properly validate uploaded file types, extensions, or content. Pandora FMS, an open-source network and infrastructure monitoring solution, exposes file upload functionality to administrative users. The affected product (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:pandora_fms:pandora_fms) lacks sufficient server-side validation mechanisms to prevent the upload of executable files such as PHP scripts, web shells, or other dangerous file types. The CVSS vector indicates network-based exploitation with no attack complexity (AC:L, AT:N), meaning the vulnerability can be reliably triggered once administrative credentials are obtained. The scope is unchanged (S:N), but subsequent system impact extends beyond the vulnerable component with high confidentiality and integrity impacts (VC:H, VI:H) and low availability impact (VA:L). The authentication requirement (AU:Y) combined with high privileges required (PR:H) indicates this is a post-authentication vulnerability targeting the administrative interface.
RemediationAI
Organizations should immediately upgrade Pandora FMS to the latest patched version beyond build 800. While the provided data does not specify an exact patched release version, the vulnerability affects versions through 800, indicating that subsequent releases should contain the fix. Consult the official PandoraFMS security advisory (https://pandorafms.com/en/security/common-vulnerabilities-and-exposures/) for the specific patched version and upgrade instructions. As an interim mitigation measure, restrict administrative access to Pandora FMS to trusted internal networks only, enforce strong multi-factor authentication for all administrative accounts, implement network segmentation to isolate the monitoring infrastructure, and review administrative account usage logs for suspicious file upload activity. Organizations unable to immediately patch should consider temporarily disabling file upload functionality if operationally feasible until the upgrade can be completed. Review all files uploaded by administrative users during the vulnerable period for potential web shells or malicious content.
