| Title | SourceCodester Online Faculty Clearance System using PHP/MySQL with Source Code V1.0 / production/edit_picture.php 1.0 Unrestricted Upload |
|---|
| Description | uring the security review of the OnlineClearance faculty profile picture feature, I found that authenticated users can submit a multipart file upload to production/edit_picture.php.
The backend stores the uploaded file using the original client-supplied filename:
$a = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$ab = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$location = "".$a;
move_uploaded_file($ab, "../requirements/".$location);
Because the application does not validate the file extension, MIME type, or file contents, an attacker can upload a PHP payload by naming the file shell.php.
In testing, the uploaded payload was then executed successfully from /OnlineClearance/requirements/shell.php, confirming remote code execution. |
