Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability (CWE-434) involves unrestricted file uploads leading to RCE. Without patch details, we infer: 1) Upload handling functions
would lack file type validation 2) Storage functions
would persist dangerous files 3) REST endpoints
would accept malicious payloads. These functions
represent the critical path where unvalidated uploads would be processed. Confidence is medium as analysis is based on vulnerability pattern matching rather than explicit patch code
.
