CVE-2026-102137: Kiteworks Core unrestricted upload of dangerous file type

CVE-2026-102137 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.1 · Published 2026-09-30

Kiteworks Core, a secure file transfer and collaboration appliance, contains a file upload validation bypass that allows authenticated administrators to store dangerous files on the system. While the vulnerability itself does not enable direct code execution, it could serve as a staging point for secondary attacks if an attacker can exploit another weakness to execute the stored files, potentially compromising sensitive data or system availability.

Technical details

An authenticated administrator with elevated privileges can bypass content validation checks on administrative file uploads, allowing dangerous file types to be stored on the appliance (CWE-434). The vulnerability requires high privileges and network access but does not directly enable code execution—a secondary vulnerability is needed to execute the uploaded files. Remediation is available in version 9.5.1 and later.
