Executive Risk Summary
"The Microsoft UFO open-source framework is vulnerable to a path traversal attack, allowing an authenticated client to create log directories and log files outside the intended logs/ directory. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or disruption of system operations."
Anticipated Attack Path
- 1. Authenticated client supplies malicious task_name value
- 2. UFO constructs session log path using user-controlled task_name
- 3. Attacker creates log directories and log files outside intended logs/ directory
Am I Vulnerable?
- Verify UFO version is 3.0.1-4-ge2626659 or earlier
- Check for suspicious log files or directories outside intended logs/ directory
- Monitor system logs for signs of unauthorized access or data tampering
