How to Fix CVE-2022-46178

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Metersphere dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

io.metersphere:metersphere fixed: 2.5.1 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.metersphere</groupId>
    <artifactId>metersphere</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.1</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.metersphere

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-46178, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.metersphere

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Metersphere in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.1), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.metersphere command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Metersphere, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary MeterSphere allow users to upload file, but not check the file name, may lead to upload file to any path if the file name in upload request is falsified. ### Details Metersphere's [`FileUtils.java`](https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/blob/v2.5.0/framework/sdk-parent/sdk/src/main/java/io/metersphere/commons/utils/FileUtils.java#L57) didn't check the filePath. ```java public static void createFile(String filePath, byte[] fileBytes) { File file = new File(filePath); if (file.exists()) { file.delete(); } try { File dir = file.getParentFile(); if (!dir.exists()) { dir.mkdirs(); } file.createNewFile(); } catch (Exception e) { LogUtil.error(e); } try (InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileBytes); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file)) { final int MAX = 4096; byte[] buf = new byte[MAX]; for (int bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX); bytesRead != -1; bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX)) { out.write(buf, 0, bytesRead); } } catch (IOException e) { LogUtil.error(e); MSException.throwException(Translator.get("upload_fail")); } } ``` ### Patches The vulnerability has been fixed in [v2.5.1](https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/releases/tag/v2.5.1). https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/commit/3a890eeeb8a6b0887927c876a73bdb3a99a82138 : add validation for file name. ### Workarounds It is recommended to upgrade the version to [v2.5.1](https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/releases/tag/v2.5.1). ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please [open an issue](https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/issues).
