CVE-2020-37278
Weaver e-Bridge Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read via saveYZJFile
Description

Weaver e-Bridge contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability that allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the host system by supplying a file: URL to the downloadUrl parameter of the saveYZJFile endpoint. Attackers can exploit this flaw to read sensitive files such as /etc/passwd or configuration and credential files, and the same endpoint's support for http(s) URLs also enables server-side request forgery against internal network resources. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-17.

Solution
Remediate arbitrary file read and SSRF by validating download URLs and restricting file access.
  • Validate all input URLs, especially for file access.
  • Restrict access to sensitive files.
  • Update the application to the latest secure version.
  • Implement proper input sanitization.
