What to do

AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability arises from missing authorization and lack of input sanitization, immediate mitigation should include applying the [Authorize] attribute to BlobStorageController.cs endpoints and configuring a global authorization fallback policy in Startup.cs. Additionally, implement strict validation and sanitization of path and filename parameters to prevent path traversal. Monitor vendor advisories for official patches or updates.

Description

IoTSharp's BlobStorageController.cs lacks the [Authorize] attribute that is applied to other controllers, and no global authorization fallback policy is configured. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access Upload, Download, List, Modify, and Delete endpoints. The endpoints accept path and filename parameters without sanitization, enabling path traversal attacks that can read, write, modify, or delete arbitrary files outside the intended blob storage directory. This includes web-accessible paths, which can be exploited for remote code execution via webshell upload. The vulnerability has a critical CVSS score of 9.8.
