CVE-2022-45896
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 · uneditedPlanet eStream before 6.72.10.07 allows unauthenticated upload of arbitrary files: Choose a Video / Related Media or Upload Document. Upload2.ashx can be used, or Ajax.asmx/ProcessUpload2. This leads to remote code execution.
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 confidencePlanet eStream before version 6.72.10.07 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in multiple endpoints (Upload2.ashx and Ajax.asmx/ProcessUpload2). Attackers can upload malicious files without authentication, leading to remote code execution.

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 Planet eStream installationCheck for Planet eStream web application by reviewing installed software listings, IIS/web server configurations, or searching for 'Planet eStream' in application directories. Common installation paths may include C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ or similar web root directories.Affected if Planet eStream software is present on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate version information by checking the application's About page, version.txt or version.ini files in the installation directory, DLL file properties, or by accessing the eStream login page and inspecting page source/headers for version strings.Affected if The installed version is below 6.72.10.07 (e.g., 6.72.10.06 or earlier)
-
Check for vulnerable upload endpointsVerify the presence of Upload2.ashx and Ajax.asmx endpoints by attempting to access them directly via HTTP GET or POST requests to paths such as /Upload2.ashx or /Ajax.asmx?op=ProcessUpload2 on the eStream server.Affected if These endpoints respond and accept requests without requiring authentication
-
Confirm upload functionality is enabledTest file upload capability by sending a POST request with a benign file (e.g., a text file) to the identified upload endpoints to verify they accept uploads without authentication.Affected if Files can be uploaded without any authentication credentials being provided
The environment is affected if Planet eStream is installed with a version lower than 6.72.10.07 AND the upload endpoints (Upload2.ashx or Ajax.asmx/ProcessUpload2) are accessible without authentication.

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 · scoped6.72.10.07
Upgrade Planet eStream to version 6.72.10.07 or later. Until patched, restrict network access to upload endpoints and monitor for suspicious file uploads.
6.72.10.07 or later
- 1. Identify the current version of Planet eStream installed by checking the application or system documentation
- 2. Obtain the updated version 6.72.10.07 or later from the official Planet eStream vendor
- 3. Follow the vendor's standard upgrade procedure to apply the update
- 4. After upgrade, verify the version has been successfully updated
- 5. Test the upload functionality (Upload2.ashx, Ajax.asmx/ProcessUpload2) to confirm the vulnerability is remediated
- 6. Ensure proper authentication is now required for file upload endpoints
