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 · unedited
QiAnXin TianQing Management Center versions up to and including 6.7.0.4130 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the rptsvr component that allows unauthenticated attackers to upload files to arbitrary locations on the server. The /rptsvr/upload endpoint fails to sanitize the filename parameter in multipart form-data requests, enabling path traversal. This allows attackers to place executable files in web-accessible directories, potentially leading to remote code execution. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-08-23 UTC.

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 confidence

QiAnXin TianQing Management Center versions up to 6.7.0.4130 have a path traversal vulnerability in the rptsvr component's /rptsvr/upload endpoint. The filename parameter in multipart form-data requests is not sanitized, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary server locations including web-accessible directories, leading to potential remote code execution.

MitigationApply vendor patch to latest version immediately. If patch unavailable, disable the rptsvr component entirely or block external access to /rptsvr endpoints via firewall/WAF while monitoring for exploitation attempts.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify QiAnXin TianQing Management Center installation
    Locate the TianQing Management Center installation directory, check for its processes in running services, or look for its characteristic file structure and binaries
    Affected if TianQing Management Center is installed on the system
  2. Check the installed version number
    Find version information in the product's about page, release notes, installation directory metadata, or version configuration files. Compare your version against the affected range: versions up to and including 6.7.0.4130 are vulnerable
    Affected if The installed version is 6.7.0.4130 or any earlier version
  3. Verify the rptsvr component is enabled
    Check if the rptsvr service or process is running, or examine configuration files for the rptsvr module to confirm it is not disabled
    Affected if The rptsvr component is enabled and running
  4. Confirm /rptsvr/upload endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access the /rptsvr/upload endpoint from an internal network location to determine if it responds (even with an error response indicates the endpoint exists)
    Affected if The endpoint is reachable and responds to requests

The environment is affected if it runs QiAnXin TianQing Management Center version 6.7.0.4130 or earlier with the rptsvr component enabled and the /rptsvr/upload endpoint accessible to attackers.
