CVE-2024-29466Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unsanitized upload filenames

Published Apr 30, 2024 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

Path traversal in FileTransUtil.java in lsgwr Spring Boot Online Exam 0.9 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The saveUploadedFiles method accepts file.getOriginalFilename() without rejecting traversal sequences or verifying that the resolved destination remains under the requested upload directory. A low-privileged account with upload access can write attacker-named files outside that directory, enabling server-side code execution and file overwrite.
