CVE-2017-8004 — Emc Rsa Identity Governance And Lifecycle security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.2

The EMC RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, RSA Via Lifecycle and Governance and RSA IMG products (RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle versions 7.0.1, 7.0.2, all patch levels; RSA Via Lifecycle and Governance version 7.0, all patch levels; RSA Identity Management and Governance (RSA IMG) versions 6.9.1, all patch levels) allow an application administrator to upload arbitrary files that may potentially contain a malicious code.

Matched remediation archetype

Path traversal, unsafe upload, and file handling

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted filenames, archive entries, URLs, and path segments into read, write, include, extraction, and upload operations.
  • Identify filesystem roots, mount permissions, symbolic-link behavior, archive handling, and whether uploaded content is web-accessible or executable.
  • Review canonicalization and containment checks across supported operating systems and storage backends.

Remediate safely

  • Generate server-side storage identifiers and resolve paths beneath a fixed root using filesystem-aware containment checks.
  • Reject absolute, parent-relative, alternate-separator, device, link, and archive entries that escape the intended root.
  • Store uploads outside executable or served paths, validate type and size, and use private atomic temporary files.
