Description
Windu CMS does not validate types of uploaded files. An authenticated attacker can upload arbitrary files, including PHP. This can lead to Remote Code Execution.

Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 4.1 but may also affect other versions.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated user can upload any file type to Windu CMS because the system does not validate the file type. If a malicious user uploads a PHP script or other executable file, the web server may execute it, giving the attacker remote code execution capabilities. The flaw originates from a lack of input validation, which is a known weakness classified as CWE-434.

Affected Systems

Windu CMS version 4.1 has been confirmed to be vulnerable. The advisory notes that other, earlier or later releases may also be affected, but no specific versions have been enumerated beyond the confirmed 4.1 release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates medium severity, and the EPSS score is < 1%. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to be an authenticated user; the flaw does not allow unauthenticated file uploads. The security impact is full remote code execution, which can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the affected system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install any vendor patch or upgrade to a newer release in which file‑type validation is enforced
  • Implement strict server‑side validation that accepts only explicitly allowed MIME types and rejects all others
  • Configure the web server to prevent script execution in the upload directory, such as by disabling PHP or other interpreters for that path
  • Enable logging and auditing of file upload activity and monitor for unexpected file types or abnormal upload patterns
