JFrog Artifactory vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write

CVE-2023-42661

What is CVE-2023-42661?

JFrog Artifactory prior to version 7.76.2 is susceptible to vulnerabilities that allow authenticated users to exploit arbitrary file write capabilities. This security flaw arises from insufficient validation of artifacts during the request handling process. By crafting a series of malicious requests, an attacker may bypass security restrictions, potentially leading to denial of service (DoS) conditions or the execution of arbitrary code on the affected system. This situation emphasizes the necessity for regular updates and robust validation mechanisms in software development to protect against exploitation.
