Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3814)
CWE-ID: CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data when uploading files via "Assets->Upload files" screen. A remote authenticated attacker can upload .jpg file with PHP code inside, then use the "Replace it" option to rename the file and add .php extension to it. As a result the uploaded PHP code will be executed on the server.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
