AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability permits an authenticated super administrator to overwrite any PHP file via a specially crafted POST request to the translations update endpoint. This file write flaw can be leveraged to inject malicious code into the application, granting the attacker full control over the vulnerable system. The weakness stems from insufficient validation and sanitization of file paths, enabling arbitrary file modification.

Affected Systems

Veno File Manager Project version 4.4.9 is affected. No other vendors or products are listed as impacted by this CVE.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, has a CVSS score of 8.1, and its EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a very low yet nonzero exploitation probability. The exploit requires authentication as a super administrator, which limits exposure to compromised or malicious privileged accounts. The absence of a publicly available exploit reduces immediate risk, but the impact of successful exploitation remains high due to potential remote code execution.
