CVE-2023-46851

Summary

CVE-2023-46851 is a vulnerability affecting Apache Allura versions 1.0.1 to 1.15.0. The issue lies in the Discussion and Forum importing feature, which fails to restrict URL values in attachments. A project administrator can exploit this by importing malicious files, causing Allura to read local files and potentially expose sensitive internal information. This exposure can lead to further exploits, such as session hijacking or remote code execution. To mitigate the risk, users are advised to upgrade to version 1.16.0 or configure their .ini files by setting "disable_entry_points.allura.importers = forge-tracker, forge-discussion."
