DescriptionCVE.org

An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Policy Manager console of Akana API Platform. A path normalization discrepancy between the authentication filter and the servlet dispatcher allows a crafted request to bypass authentication and reach an endpoint that evaluates attacker-supplied script code without sandboxing, resulting in arbitrary code execution. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Perforce Akana API Platform allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary code on the Policy Manager console host. A path normalization discrepancy between the authentication filter and the servlet dispatcher lets a crafted request slip past authentication and reach an endpoint that evaluates attacker-supplied script without sandboxing. …
