Description

H3C CVM, the Cloud Virtualization Management component of the H3C CAS cloud platform, contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the /cas/fileUpload/upload endpoint that allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files by manipulating the caller-supplied token parameter without restricting path traversal or file type. Attackers can exploit the path traversal in the token parameter to upload a malicious JSP file into a web-accessible directory and then request it to achieve remote code execution as the web-server user. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-14.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability

  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Remediation status

    No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2023-54405 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Treat uploaded files as untrusted until proven otherwise: validate the actual content type rather than the supplied extension, store uploads outside the web root on a volume mounted without execute permission, and rename them to server-generated identifiers so an attacker cannot choose the path a request will later resolve.
