CVE-2019-11401
HIGHCVE-2019-11401 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.2) Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability in sscms. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2019-11401 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
SiteServer CMS RCE via unsafe file upload
Real-World Exposure
sscmsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A issue was discovered in SiteServer CMS 6.9.0. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because an administrator can add the permitted file extension .aassp, which is converted to .asp because the "as" substring is deleted.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| .NETNuGet | sscms | all versions | 6.12 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sscms. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update sscms to 6.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2019-11401 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2019-11401 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2019-11401. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2019-11401 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2019-11401 across NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
