CVE-2019-14768Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SYSTEM code execution via path-traversal upload

Published Jan 21, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Arbitrary file upload in DIMO YellowBox CRM before 6.3.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute code as SYSTEM through its file browser. The file browser accepts an upload destination containing path-traversal sequences and writes a malicious WAR application into the Tomcat webroot. Standard authenticated access is sufficient, and successful deployment grants control at the Tomcat service account's SYSTEM privilege level.
