Webopac: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE-2024-11018 is a critical-severity unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability in Webopac from Grand Vice info, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 6.5.1, 7.2.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Webopac to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.83% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 58% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Webopac to 6.5.1 or 7.2.3, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update webopac to 6.5.1 or 7.2.3, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Webopac from Grand Vice info does not properly validate uploaded file types, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute webshells, which could lead to arbitrary code execution on the server.

The underlying weakness: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
- When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
- Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
