An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6541 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dnnsoftware Dotnetnuke. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6541/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6541/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6541","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6541/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6541","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hc93-58pv-v5gr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DotNetNuke CMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote administrators can upload arbitrary files to gain server privileges in the DotNetNuke file manager module.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dotnetnuke","vendor":"dnnsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the file manager module in DotNetNuke before 4.8.2 allows remote administrators to upload arbitrary files and gain privileges to the server via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6541","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke","products":["dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6542"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DotNetNuke Default Machine Key Exposure","id":"CVE-2008-6540"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-30","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-9822","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-07-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-15811","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-18325","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"DNN Insufficient Access Control - Image Upload allows for Site Content Overwrite","id":"CVE-2025-64095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"The installation wizard in DotNetNuke (DNN) allows privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"DotNetNuke.Core Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Module Title","id":"CVE-2026-24838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote administrators can upload arbitrary files to gain server privileges in the DotNetNuke file manager module.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6541/"}
