Remote code execution via path-traversal file upload

Published Aug 27, 2025 · Updated May 26, 2026

Arbitrary file upload in Fujian Apex Software LiveBOS Server allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted filename. The UploadFile.do;.js.jsp endpoint accepts path traversal sequences in the filename parameter and writes the supplied file outside the intended upload directory. No authentication is required, and a server-executable upload can compromise the host; the exact affected build range remains undefined.
