CVE-2023-4475

Arbitrary file movement via unsafe rename handling

Published Aug 22, 2023 · Updated Oct 2, 2024

Arbitrary file movement in ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM) allows local users to move files into unintended directories through renaming. The File Explorer renaming feature relocates a file outside its intended directory when it processes an attacker-controlled rename operation. Low-privileged local access and user interaction are required; successful exploitation can alter file placement and affect stored-data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
