Description
Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows attackers to write arbitrary files outside the intended temporary directory by supplying an unanchored tmpFolderName value in the upload destination path. Attackers can exploit this flaw, for example by setting tmpFolderName to a traversal sequence targeting the web root, to write attacker-controlled files and achieve remote code execution.

AI Analysis

Impact

Omnispace Agora Project versions earlier than 26.10.0 contain a path traversal flaw (CWE‑22) that permits an attacker to choose an unanchored tmpFolderName in a file upload request. By providing a traversal sequence, the attacker can write files outside the intended temporary directory, potentially into the web root or other privileged locations. If the written files are executable or contain malicious payloads, the attacker can achieve remote code execution against the server.

Affected Systems

All deployments of Omnispace Agora Project with a release before 26.10.0 are affected. The vulnerability applies to every instance that uses the default upload mechanism without input validation on the tmpFolderName parameter.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of current exploitation. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability remotely by accessing the upload endpoint and supplying a crafted tmpFolderName value. The attack requires no special privileges beyond the ability to trigger an upload. If successful, the attacker can arbitrarily write files and compromise the application, leading to full remote code execution.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Agora Project 26.10.0 or newer, where the tmpFolderName parameter is properly anchored and validated to prevent traversal.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict the upload API to trusted users or internal networks and enforce strict input validation that rejects path separators and traversal sequences.
  • Monitor the server for unexpected file creation outside the temporary directory and apply additional logging or alerting mechanisms.
