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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
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: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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 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

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately restrict access to the /api/upload endpoint by implementing strong authentication and authorization controls, ensuring only trusted users can upload files. Network segmentation and firewall rules should be applied to limit exposure of the FUXA management interface to internal networks or VPN-only access. Input validation must be enforced to restrict file types and sizes, preventing upload of executable or script files. Monitoring and logging of upload activities should be enhanced to detect suspicious attempts. If possible, upgrade to a patched version of FUXA once available. In the interim, consider disabling the upload functionality if not essential. Regularly audit and verify the integrity of critical system files, including the SQLite user database, to detect unauthorized modifications. Employ application-layer firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) to block malicious payloads targeting the upload endpoint. Finally, conduct user awareness and incident response preparedness to quickly identify and respond to exploitation attempts.

Description

FUXA v1.2.7 contains an Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability in the `/api/upload` API endpoint. The endpoint lacks authentication mechanisms, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files. This can be exploited to overwrite critical system files (such as the SQLite user database) to gain administrative access, or to upload malicious scripts to execute arbitrary code.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be severe. FUXA is often used for network monitoring and management, meaning compromise could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive network data and control over network infrastructure. An attacker gaining administrative access could manipulate monitoring data, disable alerts, or pivot to other internal systems, increasing the risk of broader network compromise. The ability to execute arbitrary code elevates the threat to full system takeover, potentially disrupting business operations and causing data breaches. Critical sectors such as finance, energy, telecommunications, and government agencies in Europe that rely on FUXA or similar tools are particularly vulnerable. The lack of authentication on the upload endpoint means that even external attackers without any credentials can exploit this flaw, increasing the attack surface significantly. Given the high confidentiality impact and ease of exploitation, organizations face risks of data exfiltration, operational disruption, and reputational damage.

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.
