CVE-2021-33615Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unsafe ASP file uploads

Published Jun 2, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Unrestricted file upload in RSA Archer 6.8.00500.1003 P5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the host. The IconUploadHandler.ashx and GraphicUploadHandler.ashx endpoints accept arbitrary ASP files and place them where the web server can execute them. An Archer account and discovery of the affected endpoints are required; a successful upload runs a web shell with access to server files and can expose sensitive data.
