Description

The PortletV3AnnotatedDemo Multipart Portlet war file code provided in Apache Pluto version 3.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to restrict path information provided during a file upload. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain configuration data and other sensitive information.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.portals.pluto:pluto-container, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.apache.portals.pluto:pluto-container to 3.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2018-1306 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
