CVE-2024-11311

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2024-11311 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in TRCore's DVC that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to any directory. This can lead to remote code execution through webshell uploads. Organizations using vulnerable versions of TRCore DVC are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • TRCore DVC
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in references, but all versions before patched release are likely affected
Operating Systems: All platforms running TRCore DVC
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the file upload functionality without proper path validation or file type restrictions.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise with attacker gaining full control over the server, data exfiltration, ransomware deployment, and lateral movement to other systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers upload webshells to gain persistent access, execute arbitrary commands, and potentially pivot to internal networks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation and file upload restrictions preventing successful exploitation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The vulnerability requires no authentication and has straightforward exploitation via crafted file upload requests.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified in references, but vendor has released fixes

Vendor Advisory: https://www.twcert.org.tw/en/cp-139-8247-83457-2.html

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact TRCore for the latest patched version. 2. Backup configuration and data. 3. Apply the vendor-provided patch. 4. Restart the DVC service. 5. Verify the fix is applied.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Control

linux

Restrict network access to DVC interface to trusted IPs only

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DVC_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_IP] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DVC_PORT] -j DROP

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block path traversal patterns and suspicious file uploads

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate DVC systems from critical assets
  • Deploy file integrity monitoring to detect unauthorized file uploads and modifications

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if unauthenticated file upload with path traversal is possible by attempting to upload a file to a directory outside the intended upload location

Check Version:

Check DVC version through admin interface or configuration files (specific command depends on installation)

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt the same path traversal file upload test after patching - it should be blocked or restricted

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual file upload patterns
  • Requests containing '../' sequences
  • Uploads of executable file types to unexpected directories

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from DVC server
  • HTTP POST requests with file uploads to DVC endpoint from untrusted sources

SIEM Query:

source="dvc_logs" AND (http_method="POST" AND uri="*/upload*" AND (user_agent="*" OR referer="*")) AND (message="*../*" OR message="*.php" OR message="*.jsp" OR message="*.asp")
