CVE-2022-24983
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 · uneditedForms generated by JQueryForm.com before 2022-02-05 allow remote attackers to obtain the URI to any uploaded file by capturing the POST response. When chained with CVE-2022-24984, this could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution on the underlying web server. This occurs because the Unique ID field is contained in the POST response upon submitting a form.
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 · high confidenceJQueryForm.com forms before 2022-02-05 expose the unique identifier (URI) of uploaded files in the POST response when a form is submitted. This allows remote attackers to discover the direct path to uploaded files by intercepting or capturing the POST response, enabling unauthorized access to uploaded content.

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 the JQueryForm library version in useCheck your project's dependency manifest (package.json, composer.json, or similar) for the jqueryform or jquery.form library version, or inspect the loaded JavaScript file for version commentsAffected if The version is dated before 2022-02-05 or the version number is less than the release on that date
-
Determine if file upload forms are implementedSearch your codebase for form submissions that include file input fields (input type='file') or use the jqueryform ajaxSubmit/ajaxForm methods with file upload enabledAffected if File upload forms exist and are using JQueryForm to handle submissions
-
Inspect POST responses for file URI exposureSubmit a test file upload through a JQueryForm-enabled form and examine the server's POST response - check if the response contains direct file paths or accessible URIs to uploaded filesAffected if The response includes full file paths or predictable URIs pointing to the uploaded files rather than randomized or access-controlled references
You are affected if your environment uses a JQueryForm version dated before 2022-02-05 and exposes file upload functionality where the POST response reveals direct URIs to uploaded files.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped2022-02-05
Upgrade JQueryForm.com to a version released after 2022-02-05, or implement access controls/randomized filenames on the file upload handler to prevent direct URI access to uploaded files.
Forms generated on or after 2022-02-05 from JQueryForm.com
- 1. Identify the JQueryForm.com form generation date or version currently in use
- 2. Regenerate forms using JQueryForm.com services dated 2022-02-05 or later
- 3. Redeploy the updated forms to the web server
- 4. Verify that the POST response no longer contains the unique ID field in plain text
- 5. Test file upload functionality to ensure forms work correctly after the update
