AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated remote file upload flaw that allows attackers to craft a POST request to /app-api/infra/file/upload and pass a directory parameter. The server does not properly validate or constrain the path, enabling the attacker to write files outside the intended storage directory. This arbitrary file placement can be used to upload malicious binaries or server-side scripts that an attacker can later execute, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected host.

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in the LZ‑litchi application version 1.0.0. No other vendors or product versions are listed as affected in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the exploit requires no authentication and can be performed by any remote entity, the attack vector is clearly remote. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the nature of the flaw and the lack of authentication suggest a high likelihood of exploitation, especially for exposed installations. Absent an official patch, the risk remains high until a vendor update or a mitigated configuration is applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Disable or remove the /app-api/infra/file/upload endpoint if it is not required.
  • Enforce strict validation on the directory parameter, limiting it to a whitelist of allowed paths and rejecting any attempt to escape the base directory.
  • Implement server‑side checks that verify the file type, size, and permissions before accepting uploads.
  • Apply any vendor‑issued patch or update as soon as it becomes available.
  • Deploy a web application firewall rule set that blocks suspicious upload patterns or invalid path traversal attempts.
