Authenticated Arbitrary File Write via Database Import and Xray Log Path Manipulation
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.61% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: MHSanaei 3x-ui 3.3.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to MHSanaei 3x-ui 3.3.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
3X-UI is a web control panel for managing Xray-core servers. Prior to 3.3.1, an authenticated administrator can abuse the database import functionality to achieve arbitrary file write on the host by modifying Xray configuration values stored in the database. This can be leveraged to obtain code execution and persistent access as the user running Xray (including root when Xray is running as root). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.3.1.
