CVE-2014-2044
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ownCloud versions prior to 5.0
Description
The issue allows remote authenticated users to bypass access restrictions, upload files with arbitrary names, and execute arbitrary code via an Alternate Data Stream (ADS) syntax in the
filename parameter. This can be achieved by using ADS syntax, such as .htaccess::$DATA, to upload a PHP program, thus enabling the execution of arbitrary code.Recommendations
For ownCloud versions prior to 5.0, update to version 5.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
ajax/upload.php endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the filename parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.Exploit
