9.1 CRITICAL

Network-reachable and low-complexity, but requires builder-role privileges (PR:H); arbitrary write outside the process sandbox justifies scope change (S:C) with high C/I/A via code execution.

DescriptionCVE.org

Budibase before 3.40.0 fails to properly sanitize S3 object keys, allowing authenticated builders to upload files with traversal sequences that are preserved during export. Attackers can craft filenames containing .. segments that escape the temporary directory during workspace export, writing arbitrary content to any path writable by the Budibase process.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write in Budibase before 3.40.0 allows authenticated users holding the builder role to plant files with path-traversal sequences that survive the workspace export process, letting them write attacker-controlled content to any location writable by the Budibase server process. The flaw stems from unsanitized S3 object keys whose .. …

Impact

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated account with the Budibase builder role (CVSS PR:H) and the ability to invoke the workspace export feature, which is the exact code path that reconstructs files from S3 object keys. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N with VC/VI/VA:H and subsequent-system SC/SI/SA:H) scores 9.4, driven by network reachability, low complexity, and high impact including cross-system consequences, but the PR:H metric is the key limiter - an attacker must already hold builder-level privileges, so this is a privilege-escalation / trusted-insider or post-compromise scenario rather than a pre-auth internet worm. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained or been granted a Budibase builder account uploads an asset whose S3 object key embeds `../../` traversal segments, then triggers a workspace export; when the server materializes the export, the crafted key resolves outside the temporary directory and writes attacker-controlled content to a sensitive location such as a cron job or web-accessible directory, yielding code execution as the Budibase process. No public proof-of-concept is known, but the attack is low-complexity over the network once builder access is held.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 3.40.0 - upgrade all Budibase instances to 3.40.0 or later, which sanitizes S3 object keys so traversal sequences no longer survive export, per GHSA-pxwc-66g3-5f27 (https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/security/advisories/GHSA-pxwc-66g3-5f27) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/budibase-before-arbitrary-file-write-via-path-traversal). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: audit and inventory all builder-role users in Budibase, revoke access for non-essential accounts, and disable the workspace export feature if not operationally required. …
