CVE-2024-2563 is a critical-severity path traversal: '../filedir' vulnerability in PandaX from PandaXGO, 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. Affected PandaX versions: 20240310. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.85% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 59% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update pandax to 20240310 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
A vulnerability has been found in PandaXGO PandaX up to 20240310 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function DeleteImage of the file /apps/system/router/upload.go. The manipulation of the argument fileName with the input ../../../../../../../../../tmp/1.txt leads to path traversal: '../filedir'. The attack can be initiated remotely.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Path Traversal: '../filedir'
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize../ sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: poc, automatable: no, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
