2 techniques across 2 tactics: Command and Control, Persistence

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The specific prerequisite is reaching the file-upload handling in admin/add_logs.php, where the 'File' argument is passed to move_uploaded_file without adequate type/extension restriction (CWE-434), allowing an attacker-controlled file to be written to the server. The CVSS vector states no authentication or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N), but the endpoint's admin/ path strongly suggests it is intended as an administrative function, so whether access control is actually enforced is not confirmed in the available sources and would materially limit exploitation if present. Realistic impact also depends on the upload directory being web-accessible and permitting script execution.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with no stated privilege or interaction requirement, but all three impact metrics are rated Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), yielding a moderate 6.9 base score - a notably conservative impact rating for an unrestricted file upload (CWE-434), which in practice often enables webshell deployment and full server compromise. Exploitation maturity is E:P (proof-of-concept), consistent with the input showing a reference-only PoC that is not verified as working exploit code; there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS value supplied, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', indicating a routine-priority patch cadence rather than emergency. Two signals conflict and should be verified: the affected code sits at admin/add_logs.php, implying an administrative endpoint that would normally require authentication, yet the CVSS vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated) - this discrepancy should be confirmed with the project. This is a single-source (VulDB) report against an obscure GitHub project, so treat it as a low-to-moderate real-world priority pending independent confirmation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker reaches the admin/add_logs.php endpoint and submits a request manipulating the 'File' parameter so that move_uploaded_file stores an attacker-controlled file (e.g. a PHP script) without restriction, which can then be requested to run server-side code. A public PoC reference exists (the project's GitHub issue), but it is not verified as working exploit code, and whether the endpoint enforces admin authentication is not confirmed in the available data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in Cak Filemanagement System allows a remote attacker to write an attacker-controlled file to the server through the File argument in admin/add_logs.php. The published CVSS 4.0 vector scores 6.9 with network/low-complexity conditions and no stated privilege or interaction requirement, but Low impact metrics; the independent assessment instead applies CVSS 3.1 with PR:L and High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and notes that the admin/ endpoint likely requires administrative access although enforcement is unconfirmed. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and no CISA KEV status is provided, so confirmed active exploitation is not established.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version was identified at time of analysis; the project was reportedly informed through an issue report but has not responded. Until a fix is available, restrict access to admin/add_logs.php to trusted administrative users and networks (for example, enforce authentication and an IP allowlist), which reduces exposure but does not fix the upload logic if an authorized account is compromised. Enforce a strict file-type and extension allowlist, store uploads outside the web root, and disable script execution in any upload directory, because these controls limit webshell deployment if an attacker can still reach the upload path. Monitor https://github.com/37954679/cak-filemanagement-system/ and https://vuldb.com/vuln/429059 for a vendor update.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The underlying issue is PHP file-upload handling: admin/add_logs.php calls move_uploaded_file on the attacker-influenced File argument without adequate extension or type restriction, the CWE-434 unrestricted upload class. CPE cpe:2.3:a:37954679:cak-filemanagement-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected repository product with wildcard versioning, and the report pins affected code up to commit 5e6433246475e66462e1fea980688de96a049297. Successful exploitation depends on reaching that admin endpoint and on the upload destination being web-accessible and executable; the sources do not confirm whether access control, web-root placement, or script execution restrictions are present.
