Vulnerability Data

HCL ZIE for Web is affetced by an Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability, If the server is configured to execute code, then it may be possible to obtain command execution on the server by uploading a file known as a web…

shell, which allows you to execute arbitrary code or operating system commands. For this attack to be successful, the file needs to be uploaded inside the Webroot, and the server must be configured to execute the code

CWE(s): CWE-209 CWE-434

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-11 Error Handling good match

si-11 directly requires error messages to avoid revealing exploitable information about the system or its data.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection good match

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.

PR.PS-05 mostly match

prevents

Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require sanitized error handling to prevent sensitive data disclosure.

PR.PS-01 partial match

prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match

finds

Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.

A.8.15 Logging partial match

degrades

Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.
