Authenticated arbitrary file write via unsanitized filename
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Path traversal in Erxes before 1.6.2 allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files through a GraphQL import mutation. The importBulkStream function joins an unsanitized, user-controlled fileName to the uploads directory and passes the resulting path to fs.promises.writeFile. Exploitation requires AWS-backed file storage and control of the downloaded object's content; a writable enabled-services file can turn the write into code execution.
