CVE-2015-5669
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedTechno Project Japan Enisys Gw before 1.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to write to arbitrary files and consequently execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceEnisys Gw before version 1.4.1 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability that allows authenticated remote users to write to arbitrary files on the server. This improper file write access can be leveraged to overwrite system files or place malicious code that gets executed, leading to complete system compromise.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Enisys Gw is installedLocate the Enisys Gw application on the system by searching for its installation directory, web root, or service process. Common paths may include /opt/enisysgw, /var/www/enisysgw, or check running services for Enisys Gw processes.Affected if Enisys Gw software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version file, about page, or application metadata within the Enisys Gw installation directory. Common version file locations include a version.txt, README, or the main application binary metadata.Affected if The version is 1.4.0 or lower (any version <= 1.4.0)
-
Verify remote authentication is enabledExamine the Enisys Gw configuration files (typically in conf/ or config/ directories) to determine if user authentication is enabled and remote user accounts can authenticate to the web interface.Affected if Remote user authentication is permitted and valid credentials exist or can be obtained
-
Check file system permissions on the web rootInspect the file system permissions of the Enisys Gw web application directory and parent directories. Determine if the web server process has write access to directories outside the intended application scope.Affected if The web server process user has write permissions to system directories or locations outside the designated application directories
A system is affected if Enisys Gw version 1.4.0 or lower is installed with remote authentication enabled and the web server user has write access to directories outside the application scope.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to Enisys Gw version 1.4.1 or later. Additionally, enforce strict file system permissions to prevent authenticated users from writing outside their designated directories, and implement input validation on file write operations.
