CVE-2024-26261
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 · uneditedThe functionality for file download in HGiga OAKlouds' certain modules contains an Arbitrary File Read and Delete vulnerability. Attackers can put file path in specific request parameters, allowing them to download the file without login. Furthermore, the file will be deleted after being downloaded.
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 confidenceHGiga OAKlouds contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file read and delete vulnerability in certain modules' file download functionality. Attackers can specify a file path in request parameters to download and automatically delete any file on the server without authentication, achieving remote code execution or data exfiltration.

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 installed Oaklouds product and versionLocate the version information in the application admin panel, about page, or check the installer/log files for the exact version number (e.g., look for version display in the web interface or check system configuration files)Affected if The installed version is Oaklouds Organization 2.0/3.0 with version < 188, or Oaklouds Webbase 2.0/3.0 with version < 1051
-
Determine if the file download module is exposedIdentify which modules are enabled on the system by reviewing the admin console module list or checking the deployed application components for file download functionalityAffected if The vulnerable file download module is enabled and accessible without requiring authentication
-
Verify authentication requirements on file download endpointsAttempt to access common file download URLs or check the endpoint configuration for authentication enforcement - look for whether the download functionality requires valid session credentialsAffected if File download endpoints are accessible without authentication or session tokens
-
Check for path traversal protectionsReview web application firewall (WAF) settings, input validation configuration, or application-level path sanitization rules for the file download functionalityAffected if No path traversal protection exists or the protection can be bypassed, allowing arbitrary file paths in download requests
You are affected if your installed Oaklouds version is below 188 (Organization) or below 1051 (Webbase) AND the file download module is enabled and accessible without authentication.
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 · scoped1881051
Implement proper authentication and authorization checks on all file download endpoints; add strict input validation with allow-lists to prevent path traversal; remove the automatic file deletion functionality and implement proper session-based access controls.
Oaklouds Organization >= 188, Oaklouds Webbase >= 1051
- Identify the exact installed version of Oaklouds Organization or Webbase in your environment
- For Oaklouds Organization 2.0 or 3.0: Upgrade to version 188 or later
- For Oaklouds Webbase 2.0 or 3.0: Upgrade to version 1051 or later
- After upgrading, verify the file download functionality is working correctly and that path traversal attacks are no longer possible
- Test that the arbitrary file read/delete vulnerability is patched by attempting to access files outside the intended download directory (in a test environment first)
- Ensure the upgrade is applied to all affected instances, including any secondary or backup systems
