📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise through arbitrary file deletion, potentially leading to service disruption, data loss, or privilege escalation if critical system files are targeted.
Likely Case
Unauthorized file access or deletion in the web application directory, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, user data, or enabling further attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper file permission restrictions and input validation, potentially only affecting non-critical files within the application's scope.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available in GitHub repositories, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Vendor did not respond to disclosure. Consider upgrading to newer versions if available or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation on the upload-news-image endpoint to reject any file paths containing directory traversal sequences (../, ..\, etc.)
Access Control Restriction
allRestrict access to the /admin-api/mp/material/upload-news-image endpoint to authenticated administrators only and implement rate limiting.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing path traversal patterns to the vulnerable endpoint.
- Disable or remove the Material Upload Interface component if not required for business operations.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin-api/mp/material/upload-news-image endpoint with file parameters containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd) and observe if the server processes them.Check Version:
Check application configuration or package.json for ruoyi-vue-pro version information.Verify Fix Applied:
After implementing workarounds, retest with path traversal payloads to confirm they are properly rejected or sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin-api/mp/material/upload-news-image with file parameters containing ../ or ..\ sequences
- Unusual file access patterns from web application user
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint with suspicious file parameters
- Unusual outbound file transfers from the application server
SIEM Query:
