CVE-2017-14105: HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 allows arbitrary JSP code execution by modifying a backup archive before...

HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 allows arbitrary JSP code execution by modifying a backup archive before a restore, because the restore feature does not validate pathnames within the archive. An authenticated, local attacker - even restricted as a tenant - can add a jsp at HiveManager/tomcat/webapps/hm/domains/$yourtenant/maps (it will be exposed at the web interface).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 can let an authenticated user turn a restored backup into server-side JSP code execution. The issue matters most for legacy or multi-tenant management systems where restricted tenants can influence restore content. Public sources do not show active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat this as high priority for any remaining HiveManager Classic estate because management platforms hold operational control. Urgency drops if the product is retired, isolated, or restore access is tightly limited. The main decision is whether to upgrade, migrate, or lock down restore privileges immediately.

Technical view

The restore feature reportedly fails to validate pathnames inside a backup archive. An authenticated local attacker, including a restricted tenant, can modify an archive so restored JSP content becomes reachable through the HiveManager web interface. No CVSS, CWE, CPE, or vendor fix details are provided in the bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 installations where authenticated users can create, modify, or submit backups for restore. The source bundle does not provide formal CPEs or affected vendor metadata, so asset confirmation must rely on product and version inventory.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not cite CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. The described attack requires authenticated local access and a restore path involving a modified backup archive. Do not assume internet-wide unauthenticated exposure from the provided evidence.

Researcher notes

Evidence is concise and incomplete: it identifies the vulnerable restore behavior and version ceiling, but not CVSS, CPEs, patch status, or exploitation in the wild. Validation should focus on authenticated restore permissions, archive pathname handling, and unexpected JSP presence after restores.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify any HiveManager Classic deployments at or below 8.1r1.
  • Check vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported migration paths.
  • Restrict backup and restore functions to trusted administrative users.
  • Disable tenant access to restore workflows where operationally possible.
  • Review restore handling for pathname validation before accepting archives.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory HiveManager Classic version and deployment status.
  • Review who can create, modify, upload, or restore backup archives.
  • Check web application directories for unexpected JSP files.
  • Audit restore activity around suspicious tenant or local user actions.
  • Confirm whether vendor guidance names a fixed release.
