AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability exists in itsourcecode Payroll System 1.0 within the save_settings function of admin_class.php. The function accepts an img parameter that can be manipulated to upload arbitrary files, and the upload capability is unrestricted, allowing an attacker to upload a malicious script or other executable content that may be executed on the server, compromising confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system. The flaw is classified as broken access control (CWE‑284) and an unrestricted upload of dangerous files (CWE‑434).

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is itsourcecode and the product is Payroll System version 1.0. No additional versions or configurations are specified.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The description states that the attack may be performed from remote, implying that remote access to the administrative interface is required. The exploitation path would involve authenticating as an administrator or using stolen credentials, then submitting a crafted image upload request to trigger the vulnerability. Once a malicious file is stored and executed, the attacker could gain unauthorized system access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑released update or patch for Payroll System that limits file uploads to safe types and enforces proper authentication before allowing uploads. This is the highest priority action.
  • If a patch is not yet available, restrict the upload functionality to accepted image extensions (e.g., .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif) and validate MIME types server‑side, rejecting any other file types.
  • Ensure that all files uploaded through admin_class.php are stored outside the web‑root or served with execution disabled so that even if an attacker uploads a script, it cannot be executed.
  • Review and tighten access controls on admin_class.php, confirming that only authenticated administrators can reach this endpoint, and enforce multi‑factor authentication if possible.
