CVE-2023-5297Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database record disclosure via unauthenticated backup creation

Published Sep 29, 2023 · Updated Sep 20, 2024

Backup-file exposure in Xinhu RockOA 2.3.2 allows remote attackers to read database records through the web-accessible backup action. The task.php route accepts m=sys|runt and a=beifen without authentication, creates JSON database backups under upload/data, and leaves their predictable names reachable over HTTP. Exploitation requires guessing a four-digit directory suffix and table row counts; recovered administrator records disclose password data.
