CVSS v3.1 |
| Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to OS Command Injection that allows an authenticated administrator to upload a configuration package whose contents were not sufficiently validated before being processed. A crafted package could cause the underlying system to execute arbitrary operating-system commands, potentially with elevated privileges, on the affected appliance. |
| Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management and does not correctly enforce restrictions on role assignment, which could allow an authenticated administrative user with limited, non-Sysadmin role-management permissions to elevate another user to full system-administrator privileges beyond those the administrative user was authorized to grant. |
| Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) that could allow an authenticated user to store crafted content that executes arbitrary JavaScript in another user's authenticated session when they preview shared content. This could potentially lead to session compromise and account takeover. |
| Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.1 is vulnerable to Content Injection. A URL parameter in the PDF viewer was insufficiently validated, allowing an attacker-controlled document to be loaded and displayed under the trust of the legitimate application domain. This could increase the credibility of phishing attempts relying on malicious links embedded in the displayed content. |
| An authenticated administrator could cause the server to issue requests to, and interact with, internal network services that are not meant to be reachable through this interface. On its own this did not result in code execution. |
| An authenticated administrator could initiate an administrative import using a file whose contents were not fully verified, because the import validated only the file's header rather than the complete file. This could allow unverified or forged content to be accepted and processed, affecting the integrity of the imported data. |
| An authenticated administrator on a node with an optional, separately licensed gateway role enabled could supply a connector URL that the server retrieved without sufficient validation of its scheme or destination, causing the server to issue requests to internal network services. Exploitation requires the licensed gateway role to be active. |
| An authenticated administrator could bypass the content validation applied to an administrative file upload and store a file containing dangerous content on the appliance. This did not by itself result in code execution, which would require a separate vulnerability to run the stored file. |
| In multi-node deployments, an attacker who had already obtained code execution on one appliance node could submit a value through an internal cluster interface that was written into monitoring configuration on another node without sufficient validation, potentially allowing OS commands to be executed there. Execution was limited to an unprivileged service account on that node. |
| An optional, separately licensed repository-connector feature in Kiteworks Core did not neutralize special characters in a user-supplied path before passing it to an external command. An authenticated system administrator could inject additional commands and write arbitrary content to files owned by the service account running the connector, enabling code execution in that account's context; exploitation additionally requires network egress from the appliance to a system under the attacker's control. |
| A user-provisioning interface in Kiteworks Core did not verify that the requesting administrator was entitled to grant the role being assigned. An administrator whose delegated permissions covered role changes alone could therefore raise an account to full system-administrator privileges. |
| The sandbox that isolates document conversion on a Kiteworks appliance did not fully confine the code running inside it. Code already executing within that sandbox could potentially escape its confinement and act with the privileges of the service account that runs the application, which could allow an attacker in that position to read or modify application data and configuration, or to disrupt the service on the affected appliance. |
| A Kiteworks appliance setup interface did not enforce authentication once the appliance had completed initial configuration. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the appliance could read and modify a limited set of setup records, including a contact name and email address captured during initial configuration. |
| On deployments where the remote-support capability is licensed and enabled, an authenticated System Administrator who also possessed the key protecting the submitted data could redirect the underlying system's outbound support connection to a destination of their choosing. That destination could then have operating-system commands executed on the node and receive their output, potentially resulting in remote code execution with the privileges of a local service account. |
| An endpoint used during initial appliance setup did not require authentication and did not correctly enforce its intended state precondition, so during the initial activation window an unauthenticated network attacker could repeatedly re-trigger the privileged activation process. This could disrupt setup and leave the appliance in an incompletely configured state. The issue is only reachable while an appliance is being activated for the first time and not yet fully configured. |
| Kiteworks is a private data network (PDN). Versions 9.2.0 and 9.2.1 of Kiteworks Core have an access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to access unauthorized content. Upgrade Kiteworks Core to version 9.2.2 or later to receive a patch. |
