DescriptionCVE.org

ImpressCMS 1.4.4 contains a file upload vulnerability with weak extension sanitization that allows attackers to upload potentially malicious files. Attackers can bypass file upload restrictions by using alternative file extensions .php2.php6.php7.phps.pht to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.

AnalysisAI

ImpressCMS 1.4.4 has weak file upload extension filtering that can be bypassed using alternative PHP extensions (.php2, .php6, .php7, .phps, .pht). PoC available.

Technical ContextAI

The upload filter only blocks .php but not alternative PHP extensions (CWE-434). Extensions like .php7, .pht, and others are processed by Apache's PHP handler depending on configuration.

RemediationAI

Implement a whitelist of allowed extensions rather than a blacklist. Restrict PHP processing to .php only in Apache config.
