CVE-2024-37847
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 arbitrary file upload vulnerability in MangoOS before 5.1.4 and Mango API before 4.5.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.
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 confidenceArbitrary file upload vulnerability in MangoOS before 5.1.4 and Mango API before 4.5.5 allows attackers to upload crafted malicious files that can be executed on the target system, leading to arbitrary 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 MangoOS versionUse the system management interface, CLI command, or check the package/version file to determine the installed MangoOS versionAffected if The installed version is lower than 5.1.4
-
Identify Mango API versionUse the API management interface, CLI command, or check the package/version file to determine the installed Mango API versionAffected if The installed version is lower than 4.5.5
-
Verify file upload feature is accessibleCheck if the file upload endpoint or functionality is exposed and accessible in the deployment (review application routing, API endpoints, or web server configuration)Affected if The file upload endpoint is exposed and accepts requests from untrusted sources
-
Determine upload storage locationInspect the file upload configuration or storage path setting to see where uploaded files are saved relative to the web rootAffected if Uploaded files are stored within the webroot or a directory that permits script execution
-
Check script execution restrictionsReview web server or application configuration to determine if script execution is disabled in the upload directoryAffected if Script execution is not disabled in the upload directory, or no restrictions are configured
You are affected if either MangoOS is below version 5.1.4 or Mango API is below version 4.5.5 AND the file upload feature is exposed with files stored in an executable location.
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 · scoped4.5.55.1.4
Update to MangoOS 5.1.4 or later and Mango API 4.5.5 or later. Additionally, implement strict file type validation, rename uploaded files, store them outside webroot, and disable script execution in upload directories.
Mango 5.1.4 and Mango API 4.5.5
- 1. Identify all instances of MangoOS and Mango API in your environment
- 2. For Mango OS installations, upgrade to version 5.1.4 or later
- 3. For Mango API installations, upgrade to version 4.5.5 or later
- 4. After upgrading, verify the arbitrary file upload vulnerability is resolved by testing file upload functionality with path traversal attempts (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd)
- 5. Monitor for any unauthorized files in the system after upgrade
