CVE-2024-39943: rejetto HFS vulnerable to OS Command Execution by remote authenticated users

July 5, 2024 (updated November 18, 2024)

rejetto HFS (aka HTTP File Server) 3 before 0.52.10 on Linux, UNIX, and macOS allows OS command execution by remote authenticated users (if they have Upload permissions). This occurs because a shell is used to execute df (i.e., with execSync instead of spawnSync in child_process in Node.js).
