Description
A security flaw has been discovered in zsadmin2025 ZS-Admin up to b52e14536d59fda11e56e2536a1c32e82a38cead. This impacts an unknown function of the file /api/system/file/upload of the component com.zs.file.controller.SysFileController. Performing a manipulation of the argument File results in unrestricted upload. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the SysFileController component of ZS-Admin permits remote clients to upload any file to the /api/system/file/upload endpoint without validation. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-284 (Authorization) and CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File), and the description states it can be triggered remotely with publicly released exploitation code. If an attacker uploads a malicious file, it could be used to compromise the host’s confidentiality, integrity, or availability when the file is later executed or processed by the application.

Affected Systems

It is inferred that all currently available releases of the ZS-Admin application (vendor zsadmin2025) are affected because the project follows a rolling release model and no fixed-version fix is available. Consequently, any deployed instance that exposes the /api/system/file/upload endpoint remains vulnerable until an official update is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate impact, while the EPSS score of < 1% shows a low overall likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but exploitation code has already been publicly released. An attacker can invoke the flaw remotely without local privileges, making the risk significant for environments that permit file uploads. The threat persists until a mitigation or patch is applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Block or disable access to the /api/system/file/upload endpoint at the network or application layer until an official fix is deployed
  • Implement strict file validation on the server side—restrict allowed file types, sizes, and MIME types, and verify file contents before accepting uploads
  • Deploy a web application firewall or reverse proxy that inspects upload traffic for harmful content and rejects suspicious files
