CVE-2024-28806
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Italtel i-MCS NFV 12.1.0-20211215. Remote unauthenticated attackers can upload files at an arbitrary path.
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 confidenceThe Italtel i-MCS NFV 12.1.0 platform contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to upload files to any path on the system. This arbitrary file write capability can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution by placing malicious files in web-accessible directories or system locations.

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 installed Italtel i-MCS NFV versionLocate the installed version of the Italtel i-MCS NFV platform by checking system information files, About pages, or administrative interfaces. Common locations include /opt/italtel/version, the web admin panel, or service management commands.Affected if The installed version is 12.1.0-20211215 exactly.
-
Locate file upload functionalityIdentify all endpoints or interfaces that accept file uploads by reviewing web application routes, API definitions, or configuration files for upload-related parameters (multipart forms, file param handlers).Affected if File upload functionality exists and is exposed.
-
Test upload endpoint authentication requirementSend a test file upload request to the identified upload endpoint without providing any authentication credentials. Observe the HTTP response to determine if the request is accepted or rejected.Affected if The upload endpoint accepts requests without requiring valid authentication tokens or session cookies.
-
Verify upload path restrictionsSubmit a file upload request with a manipulated filename containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) to the target path parameter. Examine if the server stores the file outside the intended upload directory.Affected if The server allows writing files to arbitrary paths via path traversal in the upload request.
-
Confirm web-accessible upload storageCheck the configuration or behavior of the upload mechanism to determine if uploaded files are stored in directories served by the web server.Affected if Uploaded files are placed in web-accessible directories, enabling direct request for execution.
The environment is affected if running Italtel i-MCS NFV version 12.1.0-20211215 AND the file upload endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests AND allows path traversal for file placement in web-accessible locations.

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 dataImplement authentication requirements for all file upload endpoints and apply strict path validation to prevent directory traversal. Restrict uploaded file types and store uploads outside web-root directories.
