Impact

A high‑privileged remote attacker can upload a .php file and then request it from /uploads/<filename>.php, achieving arbitrary code execution because the application performs insufficient file type validation. The vulnerability can lead to full system compromise and is classified as a file upload flaw under CWE-434.

Affected Systems

Frauscher Sensortechnik’s FDS 102 sensor platform (R2 version) is affected. No specific software version numbers are listed; all installations of the FDS 102 that allow direct uploads to the /uploads directory are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating a high‑risk flaw. EPSS is below 1%, so the exploitation probability is low but not negligible, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. A remote attacker who can reach the upload endpoint and place a malicious file in the uploads directory can immediately execute it to gain code‑execution privileges, without needing additional authentication or privilege escalation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and apply the latest security patch or configuration change from Frauscher Sensortechnik, as documented in their VDE‑2026‑078 advisory.
  • If a patch is not yet available, modify the web server configuration to strip execute permissions from the /uploads directory and deny execution of .php files therein.
  • Implement strict file‑type validation on the upload handler to allow only acceptable MIME types and reject unexpected extensions, ensuring that only non‑executable content can be stored.
