Impact

An arbitrary file upload flaw in AppNitro MachForm v30 allows attackers to upload a specially crafted .phar file that triggers code execution on the host server. The vulnerability gives the attacker full control over the application environment, potentially compromising the underlying operating system, databases, and any data the application handles. This type of flaw has a high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, as it may allow disclosure of sensitive data, modification of application logic, and possibility of further lateral movement within the network.

Affected Systems

AppNitro MachForm version 30 is affected. No other vendor or product is listed in the CNA data, but any deployment of this application version is susceptible to the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exploited via the web application's file upload interface, allowing a remote attacker to upload malicious content without authentication if the application does not enforce proper file type validation. While the explicit EPSS score is not available, the flaw provides remote code execution, a rare high-impact scenario that is often actively exploited when disclosed. The CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, but its RCE nature warrants immediate attention. Attacker prerequisites include network reach to the file upload endpoint and the ability to craft a valid PHAR file. Once uploaded, the VFS or unpacking logic will execute the embedded code, giving the attacker control.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available vendor patch for MachForm v30 that fixes the file upload handling functionality.
  • Configure the web application to reject uploads of the .phar extension and enforce strict MIME type and file content validation.
  • Deploy a Web Application Firewall rule to block malicious file uploads and monitor traffic for suspicious activity. If the application uses PHP PHAR auto‑loading, disable it or restrict it to trusted files.
