Official Description

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in ui/artifact/upload in JFrog Artifactory before 4.16 allows remote attackers to (1) deploy an arbitrary servlet application and execute arbitrary code by uploading a war file or (2) possibly write to arbitrary files and cause a denial of service by uploading an HTML file.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2016-10036 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
