Description
FUXA is a web-based Process Visualization (SCADA/HMI/Dashboard) software. Prior to 1.2.11, there is a flaw in the path sanitization logic allows an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to bypass directory traversal protections. By using nested traversal sequences (e.g., ....//), an attacker can write arbitrary files to the server filesystem, including sensitive directories like runtime/scripts. This leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when the server reloads the malicious scripts. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.11.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a path traversal sanitization bypass in FUXA, allowing an authenticated administrator to craft nested traversal sequences to write files outside the intended directory. The attacker can place arbitrary scripts in runtime/script directories, and when the server reloads them, the malicious code executes with system privileges, leading to remote code execution.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include all installations of frangoteam FUXA older than version 1.2.11. The flaw exists in the path sanitization logic used for file handling. Administrators with full access to the web interface can exploit it.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests low exploitation probability at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated administrative credentials, so limiting administrative access and applying the patch are critical. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, restricting write permissions to the vulnerable directories and monitoring for unauthorized file changes can mitigate risks.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FUXA to version 1.2.11 or later to address the sanitization bug.
  • Restrict administrative access to trusted users only and enforce least‑privilege policies so that only needed accounts have write ability.
  • Harden file system permissions on the server, ensuring that runtime/script directories are not writable by processes that can be influenced by the application.
  • Enable logging or monitoring of file creation in sensitive directories to detect any unauthorized changes.
