What is CVE-2024-46986?

An arbitrary file write vulnerability exists in Camaleon CMS, a content management system built with Ruby on Rails. This flaw, presented through the MediaController's upload method, allows authenticated users to write files to any location on the web server, depending on the underlying filesystem permissions. If an attacker manages to upload a Ruby file to the config/initializers/ directory, this could potentially enable delayed remote code execution. This issue has been mitigated in the release of version 2.8.2, and users are strongly advised to upgrade as there are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
