How the attack works simplified
- 1Remote attackerTargets internet-reachable server
- 2Crafted API requestManipulates the 'random' parameter
- 3checkSysPwd bypassedAuthentication check is skipped
- 4Backup accessAttacker reaches stored backup data
- ResultAttacker gains unauthorized access to backups
What happened
The checkSysPwd function in the API component (ApiStructsAction.java) of Ahsay AhsayCBS mishandles the 'random' argument, causing improper authentication that can be triggered remotely. The flaw can be chained with CVE-2026-105134.
