Description
Vvveb before 1.0.8.3 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the plugin upload endpoint that allows super_admin users to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious plugin ZIP file. Attackers can craft a ZIP containing a plugin.php with a valid Slug header and a public/index.php file with arbitrary PHP code, which executes as the web server user once accessed via subsequent unauthenticated HTTP requests to the plugin's public path.

Impact

The vulnerability allows super_admin users to upload a crafted ZIP file to the plugin upload endpoint. The ZIP includes a plugin.php containing a valid Slug header and a public/index.php file with arbitrary PHP code. When the files are accessed via unauthenticated HTTP requests to the plugin's public path, the code runs as the web server user, giving the attacker full control of the application. This can lead to full compromise of the affected site, including data exfiltration, defacement, and installing backdoors. It is a classic Unrestricted File Upload flaw (CWE-434) combined with path traversal (CWE-61).

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is givanz, product Vvveb. Versions prior to 1.0.8.3 are vulnerable. Anyone running an older Vvveb build and having super_admin rights can exploit this.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low, but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation, but the known exploitation path is straightforward: an attacker with administrative credentials uploads a malicious ZIP, then visits the public path to trigger the code. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, implying no known targeted exploitation yet. Nevertheless, the ability to run arbitrary code via a web request makes this a critical risk for exposed installations. The attack vector likely originates from authenticated super_admin actions, but once the plugin is uploaded, the code can be triggered via unauthenticated HTTP calls.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Vvveb to version 1.0.8.3 or later to remove the vulnerability.
  • Restrict access to the plugin upload endpoint by disabling it for non‑super_admin users or implementing stricter role checks.
  • Apply web application firewall rules that block or filter suspicious file uploads and block execution of arbitrary PHP files.
