Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13464)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration rules.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when using X.Filename instead of X_Filename in some PHP Script Uploads rules, because PHP automatically transforms dots
into underscores in certain contexts where dots are invalid. A remote attacker can bypass implemented rules and successfully upload dangerous files on the server.
