7.1 HIGH

AC:H captures the non-default filesystem storage configuration prerequisite; S:C reflects that successful traversal writes outside the application boundary to the host OS filesystem.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Eclipse SW360 versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.2.0, 20.0.0, 20.1.0, if the system is configured to use file system storage with config key enable.attachment.store.to.file.system, the attacker can manipulate the filename upon upload and can essentially cause arbitrary file path traversal.

The immediate workaround is to disable enable.attachment.store.to.file.system or update to fixed versions.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Eclipse SW360's optional filesystem attachment store allows authenticated low-privilege users to write files to arbitrary paths on the host operating system by crafting malicious filenames during attachment upload. Affected versions span 19.0.0 through 20.1.0 exclusively when the non-default enable.attachment.store.to.file.system configuration key is active. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege SW360 account
Delivery
Enable or identify filesystem storage configuration
Exploit
Craft attachment filename with traversal sequence (e.g., ../../../../etc/cron.d/evil)
Execution
Submit multipart upload to SW360 attachment endpoint
Persist
Server writes attacker content to arbitrary OS filesystem path
Impact
Overwrite sensitive file to achieve privilege escalation or persistence

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two conditions must be simultaneously satisfied: (1) The SW360 instance must have the `enable.attachment.store.to.file.system` configuration key explicitly enabled - this is an opt-in, non-default setting; deployments using database-backed attachment storage (the default) are completely unaffected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L) accurately characterizes the risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated SW360 user with attachment upload rights submits a multipart HTTP upload request with a crafted filename such as `../../../../etc/cron.d/malicious_job` targeting a deployment with `enable.attachment.store.to.file.system` enabled. The server resolves the filename against the attachment directory without sanitization and writes attacker-controlled file content to `/etc/cron.d/malicious_job`, enabling scheduled command execution as the OS user running SW360. …
Remediation Upgrade to Eclipse SW360 20.0.1 or 20.1.1, which incorporate the path traversal fix via GitHub PRs #4516 (https://github.com/eclipse-sw360/sw360/pull/4516), #4517, and #4518. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
