Description
ContiNew Admin fails to apply file-upload permission checks or file-type allowlist validation to multipart upload endpoints, allowing authenticated users to store files with arbitrary extensions. Attackers can initialize chunked uploads, send file parts, and complete uploads to leave arbitrary files in the storage backend accessible via web server URLs.

AI Analysis

Impact

ContiNew Admin fails to enforce permission checks or file‑type validation on its multipart upload endpoints. Authenticated users can initiate a chunked upload, submit arbitrary file parts, and complete the upload, causing files with any extension to be stored in the backend storage. These files become reachable through web server URLs, creating opportunities for malicious content to be served to end users.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects ContiNew Admin version 4.1.0 and earlier, running on any platform supported by the continew-admin product. The affected component is the MultipartUploadController in the system module. Users of the 4.1.0 release must verify their installation and plan an update.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 puts this issue in the high‑severity range. Because only authenticated users can exploit the flaw, the attack surface is limited to those with legitimate accounts, but the impact is severe once a malformed file is served. The EPSS score is not available, but the lack of a KEV listing indicates no widely demonstrated exploitation yet. Nonetheless, the possibility of arbitrary file placement is a compelling reason to treat this as a priority vulnerability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the ContiNew Admin GitHub repository for newer releases or patches that address the file‑type allowlist issue and upgrade the application accordingly.
  • Configure the web server to deny serving executable or potentially dangerous file types from the upload directory, enforcing a server‑side allowlist or MIME type restrictions.
  • Add an application‑level validation step to check uploaded file extensions against a whitelist before moving them to the storage backend.
