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
An issue in Wanxing Technology Yitu Project Management Kirin Edition 2.3.6 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially constructed so file/opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat.

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 confidence

Arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Wanxing Technology Yitu Project Management Kirin Edition 2.3.6 allows remote attackers to upload malicious shared object (.so) files to the /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat directory, enabling remote code execution with the privileges of the running application.

MitigationRestrict file upload functionality to validate file types and prevent .so files in plugin directories; implement strict allowlist validation and proper file permission controls on the plugins folder.

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 if Yitu Project Management Kirin Edition is installed
    Check for the application binary or installation directory. Common locations: /opt/EdrawProj-, /usr/local/EdrawProj, or check system package manager for the product.
    Affected if The application is found at any installation path and version is 2.3.6 or if version cannot be determined but the product is present.
  2. Verify the vulnerable plugin directory exists
    Inspect the path /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ for existence. Use command: ls -la /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ 2>/dev/null or similar for your installation path.
    Affected if The directory /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ exists and is writable by the application process.
  3. Enumerate shared object files in the plugin directory
    List all .so files in the imageformat plugin directory: find /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ -name "*.so" -type f
    Affected if Any .so files are present that were not installed by the vendor or that are unexpected.
  4. Check file modification timestamps on the plugin directory
    Review recent file changes: stat /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ and logon/audit logs for modifications to this path.
    Affected if The directory or contained .so files show modification timestamps inconsistent with known legitimate updates.
  5. Determine if the service is network accessible without authentication
    Verify network binding configuration. Check if the application listens on a network interface (0.0.0.0) and does not require authentication for plugin upload functionality.
    Affected if The application is exposed to unauthenticated network access and the imageformat plugin directory is writable.

A system is affected if Yitu Project Management Kirin Edition version 2.3.6 is installed, the /opt/EdrawProj-2/plugins/imageformat/ directory exists and is writable, and the service is network-accessible to unauthenticated attackers.
