Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
NetGain Systems Enterprise Manager version 7.2.730 build 1034
Description
This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. Authentication is not required to exploit this issue. The flaw exists within the processing of WRQ requests, specifically when parsing the
Filename field, which does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute code under the context of Administrator.Recommendations
For NetGain Systems Enterprise Manager version 7.2.730 build 1034, consider restricting access to the WRQ request processing functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
Filename field in WRQ requests to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
