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 security vulnerability has been detected in Tiandy Video Surveillance System 视频监控平台 7.17.0. The impacted element is the function uploadFile of the file /src/com/tiandy/easy7/core/rest/CLS_REST_File.java. The manipulation of the argument fileName leads to unrestricted upload. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 confidence

Tiandy Video Surveillance System version 7.17.0 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the uploadFile function of CLS_REST_File.java. The fileName parameter is not properly validated, allowing remote attackers to upload arbitrary files including executable code to the server.

MitigationImplement strict file validation including allowlist of permitted extensions, MIME type verification, and content-based file type detection. Store uploads outside webroot 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. Confirm Tiandy Video Surveillance System is deployed
    Identify if the target system runs Tiandy video surveillance software by checking the web interface banner, service information, or system documentation
    Affected if The system is NOT Tiandy Video Surveillance System
  2. Check installed firmware version
    Access the system admin panel or use SNMP/CLI to query the firmware version. Typically found under System > Device Info or System > Version in the web interface
    Affected if The installed version is 7.17.0
  3. Verify upload functionality is accessible
    Check if the web interface exposes file upload endpoints. The vulnerable component is CLS_REST_File.java, typically accessible via /upload or similar REST API endpoints for file upload
    Affected if The file upload REST API endpoint is exposed and accessible without authentication or with low-privilege user access
  4. Check web service configuration
    Inspect the web server configuration to verify if the upload directory is within the webroot and if script execution restrictions are in place
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored within webroot and script execution is not disabled in upload directories

You are affected if you are running Tiandy Video Surveillance System version 7.17.0 and the file upload REST API endpoint is accessible
