AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Unauthenticated remote upload to a network endpoint (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); CWE-434 file upload plausibly yields server compromise, so C/I/A:H, though execution is inferred not confirmed.
Primary rating from Vendor (Esri).

Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
ArcGIS Server contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this issue by uploading a crafted file to the affected endpoint. Successful exploitation could allow arbitrary file upload.
AnalysisAI
Unrestricted file upload in Esri ArcGIS Server (all versions through 12.0) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker push arbitrary files to an exposed administrative/upload endpoint, per CVSS PR:N. Esri self-reported the flaw (CWE-434) and rates it critical (CVSS 9.8), and successful upload of an executable payload can lead to full server compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the specific ArcGIS Server upload/administrative endpoint that handles file uploads; per CVSS PR:N/UI:N, no authentication and no user interaction are needed against a reachable instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker scans for internet-exposed ArcGIS Server instances and sends a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable upload endpoint with no credentials, placing a malicious file (e.g., a server-executable web shell) onto the host. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, this requires only network reachability and a single request; if the uploaded file lands in an executable context, the attacker gains code execution and pivots to full server control. … |
| Remediation | Apply the fix per vendor advisory: consult Esri's May 2026 ArcGIS security bulletin (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-enterprise/administration/may-2026-arcgis-security-bulletin) and upgrade to the patched ArcGIS Server release Esri specifies-an exact fixed version number is not provided in the available data, so verify it directly against that bulletin (patch available per vendor advisory). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all Esri ArcGIS Server instances across versions through 12.0; immediately restrict network access to administrative/upload endpoints via firewall rules; enable detailed audit logging of all upload activities. …
