info:
  name: FUXA <= 1.2.9 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Write
  author: prithvee07
  severity: critical
  description: |
    FUXA, an open-source Node.js SCADA/HMI web interface, through version 1.2.9 exposes an unauthenticated POST /api/upload endpoint that resolves the attacker-controlled `destination` field from the JSON request body against the application directory with only a leading underscore prefix and no containment check. Because path.resolve() honours "../" segments, an unauthenticated attacker can escape the application directory and write arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem reachable by the service account - for example into the public web root (a/../../client/dist), into cron directories, or over SSH authorized_keys - leading to remote code execution. Version 1.2.10 rejects any destination containing a traversal segment and additionally requires an authenticated administrator.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can write arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem reachable by the service account, including the public web root, cron directories, and SSH authorized_keys, leading to full remote code execution on the host running FUXA.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade FUXA to version 1.2.10 or later, which validates and contains the `destination` parameter to the intended application directory and requires administrator authentication on /api/upload.
