Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-56975 is a remote code execution vulnerability in InvoicePlane versions 1.6.11 and prior, with all versions tested as of December 2024 confirmed affected. The flaw resides in the upload_file method of the Upload controller, classified under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), highlighting its critical severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of prerequisites.
Unauthenticated attackers with network access to an affected InvoicePlane instance can exploit the vulnerability remotely without user interaction. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution on the server, potentially granting full control over the system and leading to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation involves applying fixes from the referenced GitHub pull requests: https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/pull/1127 and https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/pull/1166, which address the issue in the Upload controller.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.
Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.
Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.
Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
