Threats affecting pkg:github/Empire

BC Security Empire before 6.7.1 fails to validate the multipart filename parameter in upload endpoints, allowing authenticated operators to write files to arbitrary paths on the C2 server. Attackers can use path traversal sequences in the filename to bypass directory containment and write malicious files to sensitive locations for code execution.

BC Security Empire versions prior to 5.9.3 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires completing cryptographic handshakes over HTTP and uploading payloads with malicious paths. This vulnerability is identified as CWE-22 and CWE-434 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, indicating critical severity.
