## Overview

An authenticated administrator could bypass the content validation applied to an administrative file upload and store a file containing dangerous content on the appliance. This did not by itself result in code execution, which would require a separate vulnerability to run the stored file.

## Affected

- `kiteworks < 9.5.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `kiteworks 9.5.1`
