CVE-2024-2890
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 · uneditedUnrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Tumult Inc. Tumult Hype Animations.This issue affects Tumult Hype Animations: from n/a through 1.9.12.
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 confidenceAn unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Tumult Hype Animations versions up to 1.9.12 allows attackers to upload dangerous file types (likely executable scripts, HTML, or other malicious content) without proper validation. This can lead to remote code execution if the uploaded files are stored in a web-accessible location and subsequently accessed.

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.
-
Confirm Tumult Hype Animations is installedLook for Tumult Hype in /Applications folder on macOS, or check system-installed applications list using 'ls /Applications' or 'system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType'Affected if The application is present on the system
-
Identify the installed version numberOpen Tumult Hype and navigate to 'Tumult Hype' > 'About Tumult Hype' from the menu bar, or right-click the app in Applications and select 'Get Info' to view the versionAffected if The version is 1.9.12 or earlier (any version up to and including 1.9.12)
-
Check if the web export or hosting feature is enabledLook for web export options in Tumult Hype preferences or project settings - check if 'Publish to Web' or similar hosting features are configuredAffected if Web export or any web hosting functionality is enabled and configured
-
Locate where exported animation files are storedCheck the export destination folder - common locations include the project folder, a designated web exports folder, or a local web server document rootAffected if Exported files are being saved to a web-accessible directory (such as /Library/WebServer/Documents, ~/Sites, or any directory served by a web server)
-
Verify uploaded/exported file types are unrestrictedReview Tumult Hype export settings or any custom upload scripts - check if there is file type validation configured for exportsAffected if There is no extension or content-type validation configured, allowing potentially dangerous file types (HTML, JS, executable scripts) to be exported
You are affected if Tumult Hype Animations version 1.9.12 or earlier is installed AND web export/hosting is enabled with uploads stored in a web-accessible location without file type restrictions.

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 strict file type validation (both by extension and content/magic bytes), store uploads outside the web root or with non-executable permissions, and apply proper access controls. Update to the patched version once released.
