CVE-2023-1720 — Bitrix24 Bitrix24 security vulnerability

Critical CVSS 9.6

Lack of mime type response header in Bitrix24 22.0.300 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser, and possibly execute arbitrary PHP code on the server if the victim has administrator privilege, via uploading a crafted HTML file through /desktop_app/file.ajax.php?action=uploadfile.

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.
