CVE-2019-11445
CWE-434Published: April 22, 2019· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
OpenKM 6.3.2 through 6.3.7 allows an attacker to upload a malicious JSP file into the /okm:root directories and move that file to the home directory of the site, via frontend/FileUpload and admin/repository_export.jsp. This is achieved by interfering with the Filesystem path control in the admin's Export field. As a result, attackers can gain remote code execution through the application server with root privileges.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-11445 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.2.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2019-11445. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
