CVE-2024-58298: CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in BMC Software Compuware iStrobe Web
Compuware iStrobe Web 20.13 contains a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to upload malicious JSP files through a path traversal in the file upload form. Attackers can exploit the 'fileName' parameter to upload a web shell and execute arbitrary commands by sending POST requests to the uploaded JSP endpoint.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Compuware iStrobe Web 20.13 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) that permits unauthenticated remote attackers to upload JSP files via a path traversal attack on the 'fileName' parameter in the file upload form. This leads to remote code execution by allowing execution of arbitrary commands through the uploaded JSP web shell. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network without authentication and requires no user interaction, making it highly critical.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system without authentication by uploading a malicious JSP web shell. This can lead to full system compromise, unauthorized access, data theft, or disruption of service. The vulnerability affects Compuware iStrobe Web 20.13 and has a CVSS score of 9.2, reflecting its critical impact and high exploitability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Until a patch is released, restrict access to the affected application, disable or restrict file upload functionality if possible, and monitor for suspicious file uploads or web shell activity. Follow vendor updates closely for an official fix.
