提出 #849572: AREA 17 Twill CMS 3.6.0 Unrestricted File Upload

Twill CMS does not check the type of files uploaded through the File Library. The handler `FileLibraryController::storeFile` takes the filename from the request and keeps its extension intact, and the matching form request `FileRequest` only requires the upload fields to be present without any
extension or MIME check. Files are written to the `twill_file_library` disk, which is public and rooted in `storage/app/public/uploads`. That path is exposed through Laravel's `storage:link` symlink, so an uploaded file is reachable at `/storage/uploads/`. A back-office user with the Publisher role can upload a PHP file and call it to run code on the server. The upload response returns the file's URL, so no path guessing is needed. Tested on 3.6.0 with Apache/mod_php.

Proof of concept
Steps, performed as a Publisher-role user:

Prepare a test payload shell.php:

<?php echo 'PWNED:'.php_uname().':'.exec($_GET['c'] ?? 'id'); ?>
Authenticate to the admin panel and open a content record containing a File field.

In the File field, choose Add file, then upload shell.php from the Upload tab. The file is
accepted; no type validation error is returned.

Determine the stored URL. The application returns it in the upload response:
the POST /admin/file-library/files reply contains a JSON media.src value of the form http://<target>/storage/uploads/<dir>/shell.php. The same file also appears in the library with a download link to that location. No path enumeration is required.

Request the file with a command parameter:

GET http://<target>/storage/uploads/<dir>/shell.php?c=id
The response confirms execution as the web server user:

PWNED:Linux <host> x86_64:uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)

An automated proof of concept, twill-cms-rce.py, is included with this advisory. It authenticates, performs the Laravel CSRF handshake (the XSRF-TOKEN cookie must be returned in the X-XSRF-TOKEN request header; omitting it yields HTTP 419), uploads the payload, and retrieves the execution result. A full request and response transcript is provided in evidence/http_trace.txt.

Attempting to write outside the uploads directory by setting unique_folder_name to a traversal sequence (for example ../../public/...) is rejected by the underlying Flysystem library with a PathTraversalDetected error. This does not affect exploitability, as the default uploads directory is already served and executable.
