Impact

The TMS file upload endpoint fails to enforce server‑side file type restrictions, which allows an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary PHP files on the web server. This flaw permits full remote code execution, giving an attacker the ability to run any code with the same privileges as the web server process, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Toptech Systems' TMS7 and TopHAT products. All releases prior to 7.8 are vulnerable; the issue has been fixed in the 7.8 release, so any instance running an earlier version is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.4 classifies this defect as critical. The EPSS score is not available, so the current failure‑to‑predict exploitation probability remains unknown, but the severity suggests a high likelihood if an attacker finds a path to the upload endpoint. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, yet the potential for remote code execution warrants immediate action.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Toptech Systems TMS7 and TopHAT to release 7.8 or later to apply the vendor‑supplied fix
  • Configure the application to enforce strict file type validation and reject non‑allowed extensions at the server side
  • Ensure that the upload directory is configured so that uploaded files are not executable by the web server (e.g., set appropriate permissions or store uploads outside the web root)
