Network-reachable file manager, low complexity, but requires an authenticated account with the file_manager_mkfile capability so PR:L; webshell execution yields full C/I/A on the host.

Wolf CMS through 0.8.3.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in FileManagerController that allows authenticated attackers to create arbitrary PHP files by exploiting missing file extension validation in the create_file() and save() functions. Attackers with the file_manager_mkfile capability can write malicious PHP content into the web-accessible FILES_DIR directory and trigger execution by requesting the file over HTTP.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Wolf CMS through version 0.8.3.1 allows authenticated attackers holding the file_manager_mkfile capability to write arbitrary PHP files into the web-accessible FILES_DIR and execute them by requesting the file over HTTP. The flaw stems from missing file-extension validation in the FileManagerController create_file() and save() functions (CWE-434). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Wolf CMS account (PR:L) that holds the specific file_manager_mkfile capability granting access to the FileManagerController create_file()/save() functions; without that capability the attack cannot be initiated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are largely consistent and point to a genuine, actionable priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained (or been granted) a Wolf CMS account carrying the file_manager_mkfile capability uses the file manager to create a new file named, for example, shell.php containing PHP webshell code, which the create_file()/save() logic accepts because it does not validate the extension. The attacker then requests that file directly over HTTP from within the web-accessible FILES_DIR, causing the server's PHP engine to execute the payload and granting arbitrary command execution. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis, so upgrade guidance cannot cite an exact fixed release; monitor the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/wolf-cms-authenticated-rce-via-filemanagercontroller-file-upload) for an official fix and apply it once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Audit all Wolf CMS instances for version 0.8.3.1 or earlier; immediately restrict the file_manager_mkfile capability to fully-trusted administrative accounts only through role-based access controls. …
