Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately implement strict file upload validation controls, including whitelisting allowed file types and scanning uploaded files for malicious content. Employ server-side checks to reject files with executable extensions or embedded scripts. Restrict upload permissions to only trusted users and monitor upload activity for anomalies. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious upload attempts. Isolate file upload directories from execution privileges to prevent execution of uploaded files. Implement robust authentication and session management to reduce risk from compromised accounts. Regularly audit and review user privileges to limit exposure. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling file upload functionality if feasible or deploying compensating controls such as sandboxing uploaded files. Maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to quickly recover from potential compromises. Monitor vendor communications for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability.

Description

An Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability exists in Sage 1000 v7.0.0, which allows authorized users to upload files without proper validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading malicious files, such as HTML, scripts, or other executable content, that may be executed on the server, leading to further system compromise.

Impact

The exploitation of this vulnerability can have severe consequences for organizations using Sage 1000 v7.0.0. Attackers can upload malicious files that may be executed on the server, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or manipulation. This compromises the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business and customer data. Additionally, attackers could leverage this foothold to deploy further malware, establish persistence, or pivot to other systems within the network. The impact extends to operational disruption if critical business processes are affected. Given the authorized user requirement, insider threats or compromised credentials significantly increase risk. Organizations in sectors such as finance, manufacturing, and enterprise resource planning that rely on Sage 1000 are particularly vulnerable. The absence of patches increases exposure time, raising the likelihood of exploitation as threat actors develop weaponized payloads.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #12OWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
Architecture and Design
Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
Architecture and Design · Enforcement by Conversion
When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
Architecture and Design
Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
