MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Command and Control, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated session on the target GouGuOA instance (CVSS PR:L) and network reachability to the disk module's chunkUpload API endpoint (app/disk/controller/Api.php). The specific prerequisite is the ability to invoke chunked file upload and control the file_extension argument, which is used to bypass upload extension restrictions (CWE-434 unrestricted upload). Limiting factors: an attacker must already hold credentials/account access (no unauthenticated path per the vector), and full code-execution impact depends on the uploaded file being stored in a web-accessible, server-executable location - the available sources do not detail the exact storage path or execution mechanism beyond the file_extension manipulation. No user interaction is required (UI:N). Affected versions are GouGuOA through 6.1.2; no fixed version is given because the vendor did not respond. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a moderate, not emergency, priority. The input CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, score 5.3) describes a remotely reachable but authenticated flaw (PR:L) with partial impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and exploit maturity E:P (proof-of-concept). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a real but non-urgent issue. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code. Note a tension between the scoring and the referenced material: the input vector rates impact as only Low across confidentiality/integrity/availability, yet the linked GitHub report is titled a 'RCE' report and the weakness is CWE-434 unrestricted file upload, a class that commonly yields webshell-based remote code execution - if that holds, real-world technical impact would be higher than the 5.3 base score implies. Overall this is a genuine but authenticated, single-product vulnerability warranting scheduled patching rather than crisis response; the unresponsive vendor is a complicating factor for remediation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privilege account on an internet-reachable GouGuOA instance calls the chunkUpload endpoint in the disk module and manipulates the file_extension argument to bypass extension filtering, uploading an attacker-controlled file. If the uploaded file is web-reachable and executable (as the linked report asserts), this yields code execution on the server. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and exploitation is remote over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in GouGuOA through 6.1.2 lets an authenticated low-privilege user bypass upload extension restrictions and place a file of their choosing on the server through the disk module's chunkUpload API (app/disk/controller/Api.php). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 with PR:L and E:P, while the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact once an account is held; no user interaction is needed. A public PoC reference exists in the form of a GitHub-hosted vulnerability report; it is not verified as working exploit code, and there is no KEV listing indicating active exploitation. The vendor was contacted and did not respond, so no fixed version has been published.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the vendor was contacted about this disclosure and did not respond, and no fixed version is published for GouGuOA 6.1.2 or earlier, so upgrading is not currently an available fix path. Compensating controls must therefore target the upload endpoint itself, with trade-offs noted. First, restrict network and role-based access to the disk module's chunkUpload API endpoint (app/disk/controller/Api.php) so only trusted roles can reach it, accepting that legitimate document uploads by other users will break until the vendor ships a fix. Second, enforce a server-side extension allowlist on the file_extension parameter at the reverse proxy or WAF layer in front of the application, rejecting PHP and other executable extensions, with the caveat that this duplicates validation the application should perform and may be bypassed if the proxy and application disagree on filename normalization. Third, configure the web server so the directory where chunk uploads are reassembled is not script-executable and, where possible, is outside the document root - this contains the impact but does not close the upload flaw itself and requires knowing the storage path, which the available sources do not document. Monitoring for anomalous uploads to the disk module by low-privilege accounts should accompany these controls while a vendor fix is awaited; advisory details are tracked at https://vuldb.com/vuln/426181 and https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-116113.

Technical ContextAI · show details
GouGuOA is a PHP-based office automation platform, and the affected code is the chunkUpload handler in app/disk/controller/Api.php, which services chunked (multi-part) file uploads for the disk/document module. The flaw is CWE-434, unrestricted upload of a file with a dangerous type: the handler takes the client-supplied file_extension argument and uses it without an effective allowlist, so a file whose content and extension the attacker controls can be written through the upload path. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:n/a:gouguoa:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* carries no version granularity and the vendor advisory provides only the 'up to 6.1.2' ceiling, so per-branch affected ranges cannot be resolved beyond that statement. The available sources do not describe the exact storage path where chunks are reassembled, nor the mechanism by which an uploaded file would become executable, so full code-execution impact is conditional on the upload directory being web-accessible and script-executable; the trigger details beyond the file_extension manipulation are not described in the available sources.
