A security flaw has been discovered in Bytedesk up to 1.3.9. This affects the function uploadFile of the file source-code/src/main/java/com/bytedesk/core/upload/UploadRestController.java of the component SVG File Handler. Performing a manipulation results in unrestricted upload. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 1.4.5.1 is able to mitigate this issue. The patch is named 975e39e4dd527596987559f56c5f9f973f64eff7. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.
Weakness

Extended Description
Access control involves the use of several protection mechanisms such as:
When any mechanism is not applied or otherwise fails, attackers can compromise the security of the product by gaining privileges, reading sensitive information, executing commands, evading detection, etc. There are two distinct behaviors that can introduce access control weaknesses:
Potential Mitigations
- Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
- Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
