Relative Path Traversal (CWE-23) in chunked uploads in oneup/uploader-bundle

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 4, 2020 in 1up-lab/OneupUploaderBundle • Updated Feb 7, 2024

Package

composer oneup/uploader-bundle (Composer)

Description

Impact

The vulnerability was identified in the web service for a chunked file
upload. While the names of the POST parameters vary with the used
frontend, their values are always used in the same way to build a path
where the chunks are stored and assembled temporarily. By not validating
these parameters properly, OneupUploaderBundle is susceptible to a path
traversal vulnerability which can be exploited to upload files to
arbitrary folders on the filesystem. The assembly process can further be
misused with some restrictions to delete and copy files to other
locations.

The vulnerability can be exploited by any users that have legitimate
access to the upload functionality and can lead to arbitrary code
execution, denial of service and disclosure of confidential information.

Patches

Yes, see version 1.9.3 and 2.1.5.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
