Riganti DotVVM unrestricted file upload in FileUpload component

Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-06-19

DotVVM, a framework for building web applications, contains a vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to upload files to the server. An attacker could exploit this to fill up the server's disk space, potentially causing the application or the entire server to crash. This impacts the availability of the service and could disrupt business operations.

Technical details

An unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) exists in DotVVM when file upload storage is configured. The framework previously allowed any network-based attacker to upload files without requiring a cryptographic token or specific authorization. This can be exploited to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) attack by filling the server's storage capacity. The issue is resolved in versions 4.2.11, 4.3.15, and 5.0.0-preview09 by requiring a cryptographic token generated by the FileUpload component for all upload requests. Additionally, a new configuration option 'AuthorizeFileUpload' has been introduced to allow developers to restrict upload capabilities to specific authorized users.
