EPSS Score4.0%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 4.0% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 90% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

The Versa Director GUI contains an unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability that allows administrators with Provider-Data-Center-Admin or Provider-Data-Center-System-Admin privileges to customize the user interface. The “Change Favicon” (Favorite Icon) enables the upload of a .png file, which can be exploited to upload a malicious file with a .png extension disguised as an image.

Required Action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Description

The Versa Director GUI provides an option to customize the look and feel of the user interface. This option is only available for a user logged with Provider-Data-Center-Admin or Provider-Data-Center-System-Admin. (Tenant level users do not have this privilege). The “Change Favicon” (Favorite Icon) option can be mis-used to upload a malicious file ending with .png extension to masquerade as image file. This is possible only after a user with Provider-Data-Center-Admin or Provider-Data-Center-System-Admin has successfully authenticated and logged in.
