Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

ATutor Gameme module allows users to upload files of any type and extension without restriction. Due to improper handling of file uploads, files are stored in a web-accessible location before their content is validated. An authenticated attacker who knows a valid course_id can upload a server-executable malicious script. The uploaded file can then be requested over HTTP, resulting in remote code execution as the web server process user. In most cases, course_id=0 can be used, as it commonly represents the global context. Product is no longer actively supported and the vulnerabilities have not been fixed. Only version 2.2.4 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested but might also be vulnerable.Show less

A high privileged remote attacker can upload a .php file and then request it directly from /uploads/<filename>.php to achieve arbitrary code execution due to improper file type validation which could result in full system compromise.Show less

The Depicter — Popup & Slider Builder WordPress plugin before 4.8.0 does not validate the type of a file uploaded through its import feature and does not remove a malformed upload, allowing users with editor-level access to write an arbitrary file (including executable PHP) into a web-accessible directory, which can lead to remote code execution.Show less

A flaw has been found in DeDeCMS 3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /include/dialog/select_media_post.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument uploadfile can lead to unrestricted upload. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.Show less

Wekan is open source kanban built with Meteor. Prior to 9.90, isFileValid() in models/fileValidation.js used the Unix file command for content-based MIME detection, but detectMimeFromFile() silently returned undefined when that binary was unavailable and the validation fell back to the attacker-controlled fileObj.type supplied through server/routes/attachmentApi.js. On deployments with WITH_API=true and no file binary, an authenticated board member could label HTML containing JavaScript as image/png, bypass the dangerous MIME check, and store active content under the Wekan origin for execution when another user opened it. Version 9.90 adds looksLikeDangerousMarkup() to inspect file bytes and force dangerous-content scanning when MIME detection is unavailable. This issue is fixed in version 9.90.Show less

Joomla Extension - cmsjunkie.com - Arbitrary file upload / deletion (path traversal) in J-BusinessDirectory < 6.2.3 - Upload/remove accepted a client-controlled root (_path_type could point at the component site/admin trees), did not enforce path containment, and used a weak extension check. CSRF token was also missing on upload/remove.Show less

Joomla! Core - [20260810] - Unrestricted uploads of SHTML files in Joomla 1.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - The default list of dangerous files did not include SHTML files. On servers that executed these files, that could lead to code execution.Show less

A security vulnerability has been detected in OpenBoxes up to 0.9.1. This issue affects the function DocumentController of the file grails-app/controllers/org/pih/warehouse/core/DocumentController.groovy of the component Document Upload Controller. The manipulation leads to unrestricted upload. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.9.2 is capable of addressing this issue. The identifier of the patch is e945d6bfcec29642f514e7d298dfba2cc6cd7cd4. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.Show less

The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.56.1 via the handle_file_upload function. This is due to insufficient file type validation in handle_file_upload, where the dangerous-extension blocklist performs exact-key matching that is bypassed by pipe-alternative MIME type keys, combined with a public submission handler that trusts attacker-controlled upload field configuration injected via a forged Select field value. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible.Show less
