CWE
  • CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
  • CWE-73 - External Control of File Name or Path
  • CWE-20 - Improper Input Validation
Summary
In Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller versions <= 5.12.5 and <= 6.0.2, an authenticated zone administrator can exploit improper validation in the download preparation flow, enabling attacker-controlled files to be written outside the intended preparation directory. This can lead to remote code execution in v5 versions. Remote code execution is not confirmed on v6 versions.
