Security Vulnerabilities
Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection. A stored SQL injection vulnerability in a Kiteworks administrative reporting feature could allow an authenticated administrator to read sensitive data from the underlying database and to affect the availability of the service. Exploitation requires an existing, authenticated administrative account with access to the affected reporting function.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write. An improper restriction of a user-supplied file path in a Kiteworks administrative export feature could allow an authenticated administrator to write a file to an arbitrary location on the underlying host, potentially leading to command execution on the appliance. Exploitation requires an existing, authenticated administrative account with access to the affected export function.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) weakness in Kiteworks Core could allow an authenticated user to submit content that, when later viewed by another user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in that user's authenticated session. This could be used to perform actions on the victim's behalf and may have permitted account takeover, including of higher-privileged users. Exploitation requires the victim to view the attacker-supplied content.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. A deserialization weakness in Kiteworks Core could, under certain conditions, allow crafted data to be deserialized unsafely, potentially resulting in remote code execution on the appliance. Exploitation depends on an attacker first being able to influence the affected data, so this issue is not exploitable on its own.

Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery. Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway performed server-side fetches of URLs contained in the message content it processed, without adequately restricting the fetch destination. A remote, unauthenticated sender could craft a message that caused the gateway to issue requests to internal services and cloud instance metadata endpoints and return the responses, potentially disclosing sensitive internal data and, depending on the internal service reached, affecting its state.

Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway allowed an authenticated administrator to import configuration whose contents were not sufficiently validated before being processed. A crafted submission could potentially allow arbitrary commands to be executed on the affected gateway.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.1 is vulnerable to Content Injection. A URL parameter in the PDF viewer was insufficiently validated, allowing an attacker-controlled document to be loaded and displayed under the trust of the legitimate application domain. This could increase the credibility of phishing attempts relying on malicious links embedded in the displayed content.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) that could allow an authenticated user to store crafted content that executes arbitrary JavaScript in another user's authenticated session when they preview shared content. This could potentially lead to session compromise and account takeover.

Kiteworks Core before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management and does not correctly enforce restrictions on role assignment, which could allow an authenticated administrative user with limited, non-Sysadmin role-management permissions to elevate another user to full system-administrator privileges beyond those the administrative user was authorized to grant.

Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway before version 9.5.0 is vulnerable to a path traversal weakness in an administrative import function allowed an authenticated administrator to write files to arbitrary locations on the server. This could potentially be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the underlying system.
