Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to control copy queue work items in the ShareFile Storage Zones Controller (v5.12.6 and below) and to win a race condition in the queue-item acknowledgement path, where a callback URL is processed without validation, causing FileCopyService to consume attacker-controlled metadata and content. Limiting factors: the attack is locally scoped and high-complexity (AV:L/AC:H) because it depends on timing a race window and on already being able to influence copy queue work, which is not a default anonymous capability; impact is bounded to limited integrity and availability (C:N, I:L, A:L) with no confidentiality exposure. Despite the input's PR:N rating, the requirement to control copy queue work implies a position of prior access that defenders should weigh.

Impact

This is a low-to-moderate priority issue that does not warrant emergency patching but should be remediated in normal maintenance cycles. The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/C:N/I:L/A:L) describes a locally-reachable, high-complexity flaw with no confidentiality impact and only limited integrity and availability impact, which is consistent with the quoted CVSS base score of 4.0 (Medium). Several real-risk-reducing signals align: AC:H reflects the required race condition, and the description independently confirms two non-trivial prerequisites ('control over copy queue work' plus winning a race). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active or automatable exploitation. CONFLICTS TO VERIFY: (1) the CWE is CWE-321 (Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key), which does not match the described callback-URL-validation/race-condition behavior - verify the CWE mapping with the vendor. (2) The vector states PR:N (unauthenticated) yet the description requires 'control over copy queue work,' which implies some prior access or position - treat the unauthenticated claim with caution. (3) The lone tag is 'Information Disclosure,' but the vector sets C:N and the described impact is attacker-controlled metadata/content being consumed, i.e. an integrity problem, not disclosure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can influence copy-queue work items supplies a malicious callback URL that the Storage Zones Controller fails to validate when sending acknowledgements. By winning a race condition, the attacker causes FileCopyService to ingest attacker-controlled metadata and file content into the copy operation. No public exploit code is known, and the high attack complexity (race window) makes reliable exploitation difficult.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026

Locally positioned attackers who can control copy queue work in Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller 5.12.6 and earlier can exploit an unvalidated callback URL acknowledgement path combined with a race condition to make FileCopyService consume attacker-controlled metadata and content. The issue is assessed as low-to-moderate priority with limited integrity and availability impact (C:N/I:L/A:L), no confidentiality exposure, and high attack complexity; no public exploit code or CISA KEV active exploitation is identified in the provided data. Remediation should occur in normal maintenance cycles rather than emergency patching.

RemediationAI

Consult the Progress ShareFile security advisory at https://docs.sharefile.com/en-us/sharefile/storage-zones-controller/5-0/security-vulnerability-sep26 for the vendor-recommended fixed release; no exact patched version is specified in the provided data, and the advisory should be checked for a version above 5.12.6. Until an upgrade can be applied, reduce exposure by restricting local access to the Storage Zones Controller host and limiting which accounts or services can create or modify copy queue work, since exploitation requires control over queue items and a race window. Isolate the FileCopyService and controller service accounts with least privilege, monitor or block outbound acknowledgements to unexpected callback URLs at the host/network layer, and review queue-processing logs for anomalous copy jobs. These controls may disrupt legitimate copy workflows if callback destinations are tightly filtered, so test allowlists before enforcement. Because the issue is assessed as low-to-moderate priority, remediation can be scheduled in normal maintenance cycles rather than emergency patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

ShareFile Storage Zones Controller manages storage zones and includes a FileCopyService that processes queued copy operations. In affected versions, queue-item acknowledgement processing can send acknowledgements to a callback URL without validating that URL; when an attacker can influence copy queue work and win a race condition in that acknowledgement path, FileCopyService may consume attacker-supplied metadata and content. The authoritative assessment maps this to CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L, meaning local scope, high complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and limited integrity/availability impact. The input lists CWE-321 (Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key), which does not match the described unvalidated callback/race-condition root cause; defenders should focus on the callback validation and race-window issues while treating the CWE classification as potentially inconsistent. No CPE strings were provided, so exact platform/build coverage beyond the version range is not confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller v5.12.6 and below, processing of queue items can send acknowledgements to an unvalidated callback URL, this behavior together with a race condition allows the attacker to cause FileCopyService to consume attacker-controlled metadata and content. Exploitation requires control over copy queue work and a race condition.
