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
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Dang Ngoc Binh Audio Record audio-record allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server.This issue affects Audio Record: from n/a through <= 1.0.

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

The Audio Record application by Dang Ngoc Binh has an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows attackers to upload dangerous file types (web shells) to the web server. This enables remote code execution and complete server compromise.

MitigationImplement strict allowlist-based file type validation, verify file content/magic bytes, store uploads outside the web root, rename uploaded files, and disable script execution in the upload directory.

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 Audio Record application is present
    Search for files or directories related to 'Audio Record' or 'Dang Ngoc Binh' on the web server. Check for uploaded application files, web root directories, or any audio recording web application.
    Affected if The Audio Record application by Dang Ngoc Binh is installed on the server.
  2. Locate the file upload endpoint
    Review the application source code or web traffic to identify the upload form, API endpoint, or handling script used for audio file uploads.
    Affected if An upload endpoint exists and is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS.
  3. Check for file type validation
    Inspect the upload handling code to determine if file type validation exists and whether it uses an allowlist approach or merely checks file extensions.
    Affected if The upload function lacks proper file type validation or relies solely on client-side/file extension checks without content verification.
  4. Verify upload directory configuration
    Examine the web server configuration and upload directory to check if script execution is disabled and if uploads are stored inside or outside the web root.
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored within the web root and script execution is permitted in that directory.
  5. Test for unrestricted upload capability
    If authorized, attempt to upload a file with a dangerous extension (such as .php, .jsp, .asp) to see if the server accepts it.
    Affected if The server accepts and stores files with executable extensions without blocking them.

A user is affected if the Audio Record application is installed and its upload functionality permits executable file types to be uploaded to a web-accessible location.
