CVE-2005-0254: BibORB 1.3.2, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly enforce a restriction for uploading only PDF...

BibORB 1.3.2, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly enforce a restriction for uploading only PDF and PS files, which allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files that are presented to other users with PDF or PS icons, which may trick some users into downloading and executing those files.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

BibORB allowed attackers to upload files other than PDF or PostScript while showing them to users with trusted-looking PDF or PS icons. The business risk is user deception: someone may download and run a malicious file believing it is a document. The public record does not show KEV-listed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy BibORB deployments, especially where file upload functionality is reachable by untrusted users. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, but the description specifically names BibORB 1.3.2 and possibly earlier versions. Treat this as a low-priority legacy exposure unless BibORB is internet-facing or used by untrusted contributors. If present, prioritize reducing upload risk and validating whether users could be deceived into running uploaded files. Mitigation focus: Check archived BibORB or vendor guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.; Disable or restrict uploads if BibORB remains deployed and untrusted users can access it.; Enforce server-side allowlists for uploaded file type, extension, and safe storage location..

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
