Descriptions

The dotCMS administration panel, versions 3.7.1 and earlier, "Push Publishing" feature in Enterprise Pro is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload. When "Bundle" tar.gz archives uploaded to the Push Publishing feature are decompressed, there are no checks on the types of files which the bundle contains. This vulnerability combined with the path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2017-3188) can lead to remote command execution with the permissions of the user running the dotCMS application. An unauthenticated remote attacker may perform actions with the dotCMS administrator panel with the same permissions of a victim user or execute arbitrary system commands with the permissions of the user running the dotCMS application.

En el panel de administrador de dotCMS, en versiones 3.7.1 y anteriores, la característica "Push Publishing" en Enterprise Pro es vulnerable a una subida de archivos arbitrarios. Cuando los archivos "Bundle" tar.gz se suben a la funcionalidad Push Publishing y se descomprimen, no hay comprobaciones de los tipos de archivos que contiene el bundle. Esto, combinado con la vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio (CVE-2017-3188) puede conducir a la ejecución remota de comandos con los permisos del usuario que ejecuta la aplicación dotCMS. Un atacante remoto no autenticado podría realizar acciones con el panel de administrador de dotCMS con los mismos permisos que un usuario víctima o ejecutar comandos arbitrarios del sistema con los permisos del usuario que ejecuta la aplicación dotCMS.
