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 Farost Energia energia allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server.This issue affects Energia: from n/a through <= 1.1.2.

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

Farost Energia energia web application has an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows attackers to upload web shell scripts to the server, enabling full remote code execution. The lack of proper file type validation and content inspection on upload functionality permits dangerous file types to be stored and executed.

MitigationImplement strict allowlist-based file type validation including magic byte verification, store uploads outside the web root with non-executable extensions, and disable script execution in upload directories.

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 Farost Energia installation
    Locate the web application files and determine if Farost Energia energia is present in your environment. Search for application directories or check web server configurations for this application.
    Affected if Farost Energia energia web application is installed
  2. Locate upload functionality
    Search the application for file upload endpoints, forms, or API paths that handle file uploads. Common indicators include multipart form submissions, file input fields, or upload API routes.
    Affected if The application contains file upload functionality
  3. Verify file type validation exists
    Examine the upload handling code for server-side validation that checks file types, extensions, or magic bytes before storing files. Look for allowlists, MIME type checks, or content inspection logic.
    Affected if No server-side file type validation or allowlist is implemented on the upload function
  4. Check uploaded file storage location
    Identify where uploaded files are stored relative to the web root. Examine the file storage path configuration to determine if uploads reside within or outside the web-accessible directory.
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored inside the web root directory
  5. Verify script execution is disabled in upload directory
    Check web server configuration (e.g., Apache .htaccess, Nginx config) or application settings for directives that prevent script execution (e.g., php_flag engine off, disable_functions) in the upload storage directory.
    Affected if Script execution is not explicitly disabled in the upload storage directory

Your environment is affected if the Farost Energia energia web application is installed with an accessible file upload feature that lacks proper server-side file type validation, stores files within the web root, and does not disable script execution in the upload directory.
