Summary

Scirius through 3.8.0 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the PCAP filestore upload endpoint that allows default User role users to write attacker-controlled JSON content to filesystem paths. Attackers can supply path traversal sequences in the uploaded document's _id field to escape the intended directory and write files with .json extension to arbitrary locations as root.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privileged user to write files as root in arbitrary locations, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system compromise. It may also allow overwriting critical configuration files.

Recommendation

Upgrade Scirius to a version later than 3.8.0 if available, or restrict access to the PCAP upload endpoint. Enforce path validation and run the service with minimal privileges.
