DescriptionCVE.org

Adminer versions before 5.4.3 contain an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the AdminerFileUpload plugin that allows authenticated users to upload PHP files by exploiting a permissive default extension allowlist. Attackers can upload PHP webshells to columns ending in _path and execute arbitrary code as the web-server user when uploadPath is web-served.

AnalysisAI

Unrestricted PHP file upload in Adminer's AdminerFileUpload plugin (versions before 5.4.3) allows any authenticated low-privilege user to deploy a webshell and execute arbitrary code as the web-server user. The root cause is a permissive default extension allowlist that fails to block .php uploads to columns with _path suffixes when the uploadPath directory is web-served. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three specific conditions to be simultaneously true: (1) the AdminerFileUpload plugin must be installed and enabled in the Adminer instance - this is not part of the core Adminer distribution; (2) the uploadPath directory configured for the plugin must be directly served by the web server so that uploaded files are HTTP-accessible and PHP-interpretable; (3) the attacker must hold a valid Adminer account with at least low-level privileges sufficient to interact with the file upload interface (PR:L per the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only a low-privilege authenticated account - a realistic threat model for any multi-user Adminer deployment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Adminer to version 5.4.3 or later, which corrects the permissive default extension allowlist in the AdminerFileUpload plugin, per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/vrana/adminer/security/advisories/GHSA-vcvj-rwwm-x6g5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running Adminer versions before 5.4.3 with AdminerFileUpload enabled, and immediately disable or uninstall the plugin if not operationally critical. …
