DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in SourceCodester/jkev Record Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file save_emp.php of the component Add Employee Page. This manipulation causes unrestricted upload. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester/jkev Record Management System 1.0 allows authenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files via the save_emp.php Add Employee Page component, potentially enabling remote code execution. The vulnerability requires high-privilege authentication and has publicly available exploit code, though real-world risk remains limited by the authentication barrier and moderate CVSS score of 4.7.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the save_emp.php file handling the Add Employee Page functionality within the Record Management System. This is a classic CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) flaw where file upload validation is either absent or insufficient, allowing an authenticated administrator or high-privilege user to upload files without proper type, extension, or content verification. The PHP environment context makes this particularly dangerous as uploaded files could be executed server-side if placed in web-accessible directories. The affected CPE strings (cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:record_management_system and cpe:2.3:a:jkev:record_management_system) indicate this applies broadly to version 1.0 and potentially earlier versions of both the SourceCodester and jkev branded variants of the same application.

RemediationAI

Implement immediate input validation and file upload restrictions in the save_emp.php component. Restrict allowed file types to whitelisted image or document formats (e.g., .jpg, .png, .pdf only) by validating both MIME type and file extension, and store uploaded files outside the web root directory or in a non-executable directory with appropriate permissions (no PHP execution). Apply principle of least privilege by restricting file upload functionality to only necessary administrative users. Upgrade to a patched version of the Record Management System when available from SourceCodester or jkev vendor repositories. For immediate containment, disable or restrict access to the Add Employee Page functionality until validation controls are implemented. Consult the vendor advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/355346 for additional guidance. Review server logs for evidence of suspicious file uploads and audit existing uploaded files for integrity.
