Descriptions

In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2023.1.3,

an authenticated user with certain permissions can upload an arbitrary file and obtain RCE using Apm.UI.Areas.APM.Controllers.Api.Applications.AppProfileImportController.

En las versiones de WhatsUp Gold lanzadas antes de 2023.1.3, un usuario autenticado con ciertos permisos puede cargar un archivo arbitrario y obtener RCE usando Apm.UI.Areas.APM.Controllers.Api.Applications.AppProfileImportController.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Progress Software WhatsUp Gold. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the APM module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can allow the upload of arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the service account.
