CVE-2023-40051: Progress Openedge

Critical severity, CVSS 9.9. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

This issue affects Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge in versions 11.7 prior to 11.7.18, 12.2 prior to 12.2.13, and innovation releases prior to 12.8.0. An attacker can formulate a request for a WEB transport that allows unintended file uploads to a server directory path on the system running PASOE. If the upload contains a payload that can further exploit the server or its network, the launch of a larger scale attack may be possible.

Affected products

• Progress Openedge: from 11.7, before 11.7.18 (fixed in 11.7.18); from 12.2, before 12.2.13 (fixed in 12.2.13)
