SO Planning: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

CVE-2024-27115 is a critical-severity unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability in SO Planning from Simple Online Planning, 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 version 1.52.01 as the first without the flaw, so updating SO Planning to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 4.63% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 8.15% of all scored CVEs.

Official description

A unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability is found in the SO Planning online planning tool. With this vulnerability, an attacker can upload executable files that are moved to a publicly accessible folder before verifying any requirements. This leads to the possibility of execution of code on the underlying system when the file is triggered. The vulnerability has been remediated in version 1.52.02.

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.
