CVE-2024-57968
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 · uneditedAdvantive VeraCore before 2024.4.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to upload files to unintended folders (e.g., ones that are accessible during web browsing by other users). upload.aspx can be used for this.
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 · high confidenceAdvantive VeraCore before 2024.4.2.1 contains a path traversal/ improper access control vulnerability in the upload.aspx component. Authenticated users can upload files to unintended directories that may be web-accessible to other users, allowing potential exposure of uploaded content or execution of malicious files.

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 VeraCore versionLocate the VeraCore version number, typically found in the application login page footer, in configuration files on the server, or by accessing the /About or /Version endpoint. Compare your installed version against the affected range: any version before 2024.4.2.1 is vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 2024.4.2.1
-
Verify upload.aspx is accessibleConfirm that the upload.aspx component exists and is reachable in your VeraCore web application by attempting to access it directly via browser or HTTP request (e.g., https://yourserver/upload.aspx).Affected if upload.aspx returns a valid page or HTTP 200 response, indicating the component is present and accessible
-
Confirm authenticated user upload permissionsLog into VeraCore with a standard user account and navigate to any feature that provides file upload capability, or inspect the user role permissions to determine whether non-admin users have upload rights.Affected if Standard authenticated users are permitted to upload files through the application
-
Check folder restriction configurationReview the upload folder permissions configuration in VeraCore's settings or web.config file to verify whether users are restricted to specific upload directories.Affected if Users can access directories outside their intended restricted folder, or no folder validation is enforced on uploads
You are affected if VeraCore is installed with a version earlier than 2024.4.2.1, the upload.aspx component is accessible, and authenticated users have upload permissions that can be manipulated via IDOR or path traversal.
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 · scoped2024.4.2.1
Upgrade VeraCore to version 2024.4.2.1 or later which contains the fix. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict file upload permissions and monitor upload.aspx activity.
2024.4.2.1
- Upgrade Advantive VeraCore to version 2024.4.2.1 or later to resolve the unrestricted file upload vulnerability in upload.aspx
