HFS2 version 2.4.0 and earlier contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to cause a complete and persistent loss of availability by sending a single crafted request. Attackers can trigger a hung serving thread that enters a busy loop, rendering the entire file server unresponsive to all clients without self-recovery until an operator manually restarts the service.

HFS2 version 2.4.0 and earlier contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file access vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read, write, append, and delete files anywhere the HFS service account has filesystem access outside the shared folder. Attackers can exploit the macro dispatcher's lack of authorization model combined with the path resolver's failure to confine absolute paths to manipulate the template engine and compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host.

HFS2 version 2.4.0 and earlier contains a template injection vulnerability in the multipart upload handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution by embedding malicious template syntax in a filename. Attackers can craft a filename containing a closing template quoting sequence followed by an exec macro, which bypasses the authorization check in the dispatcher to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying host system.

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 allows path traversal through the lang query parameter, permitting a remote unauthenticated attacker to read certain JSON files outside the shared folders. Exploitation is constrained to files matching a narrow naming and format pattern, limiting practical impact.

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 does not escape file names in its fallback "basic" web listing, and this listing can be forced by any browser via the ?get=basic parameter. A user with upload permission - or an anonymous user on servers with an open upload folder - can store a file whose name contains script that executes in the browser of anyone viewing the listing.

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 returns observably different responses from its login endpoint depending on whether the submitted username exists. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use this to confirm valid account names, including the default admin account, facilitating password-guessing and session-forgery attacks.

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 accepts state-changing API requests via the GET method and exempts GET requests from its anti-CSRF header check. A remote attacker can perform administrative actions including account creation and configuration changes leading to code execution - by causing a logged-in administrator's browser to navigate to a crafted URL, or without any credentials against default installations when the attack originates from the server's own machine.

Rejetto HFS 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 renders log entries in the administration panel as HTML without sanitization. A remote unauthenticated attacker can submit a failed login with a crafted username that is written to the error log and executes JavaScript in an administrator's browser when the logs are viewed, allowing the attacker to create accounts or execute code on the server with the administrator's privileges.

Rejetto HFS versions 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 use a cryptographically weak pseudo-random number generator (Math.random()) to derive session-cookie signing keys and disclose outputs of this generator to unauthenticated clients during login. This weakness allows a remote attacker to reconstruct the generator's state, recover the signing key, and forge valid administrator session cookies. Successful exploitation leads to full administrative access and remote code execution via the server_code configuration feature.

Rejetto HTTP File Server, up to and including version 2.3m, is vulnerable to a template injection vulnerability. This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. As of the CVE assignment date, Rejetto HFS 2.3m is no longer supported.

CVE-2014-6287 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Rejetto HTTP File Server (HFS) caused by the findMacroMarker function in parserLib.pas. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs on the affected server. The vulnerability is known to be exploited in the wild. No specific affected versions or patch information is provided.
