Description
An unrestricted upload of files with a dangerous type in the thumbnail-upload endpoint (/index.php?m=member&f=article&v=thumbUpload) of WuzhiCMS 5.0.0 allows an authenticated low-privileged member to upload a crafted .php file and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, because the stored file extension is taken verbatim from the client-supplied filename with no extension allowlist or content validation and the file is written to the web-accessible uploadfile/ directory, from which the web server executes PHP.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in WuzhiCMS 5.0.0 allows an authenticated low‑privileged member to upload a crafted PHP file to the thumbnail‑upload endpoint and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. Because the application accepts the file extension directly from the client and writes the file to a web‑accessible directory with no validation, an attacker can run malicious scripts with the permissions of the web server.

Affected Systems

This flaw affects the WuzhiCMS content management system, specifically version 5.0.0. No other vendors or product versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity for this vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote code execution via a thumbnail‑upload endpoint that accepts any file type and stores the uploaded file in a web‑accessible directory, allowing an authenticated low‑privileged member to upload and execute a malicious PHP script. This direct execution capability grants the attacker full control over the web server, making the risk significant.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WuzhiCMS to the latest patched release that implements proper file type validation for uploads.
  • If an immediate upgrade is unavailable, reconfigure the web server to treat the uploadfile/ directory as non‑executable, disallowing PHP execution in that location, or move the directory outside the web root.
  • Enforce strict server‑side validation of uploaded files, permitting only allowed image MIME types and rejecting any files with dangerous extensions such as .php, .phtml, or .php3.
