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
A vulnerability was detected in Airsonic-Advanced up to 10.6.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component Playlist Upload Handler. Performing manipulation results in unrestricted upload. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.

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

Airsonic-Advanced up to version 10.6.0 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Playlist Upload Handler component. An authenticated or unauthenticated remote attacker can upload arbitrary files (including potentially malicious executables) to the server without proper validation of file types, extensions, or content.

MitigationImplement strict file upload validation in the Playlist Upload Handler: restrict allowed file extensions to safe playlist formats (e.g., .m3u, .pls, .xspf), validate MIME types, sanitize filenames, and store uploads outside the webroot or in a non-executable 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 Airsonic-Advanced installation
    Locate the Airsonic-Advanced application on your system. Check for the 'airsonic.war' file, or look for the airsonic directory in your web application server (such as Tomcat's webapps folder). The application typically runs on port 8080 or 8080 with a /airsonic context path.
    Affected if Airsonic-Advanced is present on the server.
  2. Verify the installed version
    Check the version of Airsonic-Advanced. This can typically be found in the war file name, in the application interface under 'About' or 'System' settings, or by examining the 'airsonic.war' file metadata. Compare your version to 10.6.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 10.6.0 or earlier (any version up to and including 10.6.0).
  3. Confirm Playlist Upload Handler is accessible
    Access the playlist upload functionality. The endpoint is typically at /airsonic/upload.view or /airsonic/playlistUpload - check if this URL is reachable. Try accessing it with a web browser or curl command to see if the upload form or endpoint exists.
    Affected if The playlist upload endpoint is accessible without proper authentication restrictions or is exposed to unauthenticated users.
  4. Inspect file upload configuration
    Examine the Airsonic-Advanced configuration files (airsonic.properties or similar) for any file upload validation settings. Look for properties related to upload restrictions, file type validation, or allowed extensions.
    Affected if No file type/extension restrictions are configured, or the configuration allows arbitrary file uploads for playlists.

You are affected if Airsonic-Advanced version 10.6.0 or earlier is installed AND the Playlist Upload Handler is accessible with insufficient validation controls.
