| Impact | This vulnerability represents CRITICAL real-world risk despite limited available exploitation data: (1) CVSS Score of 10.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates maximum severity—network-accessible, no special conditions required, no privileges needed, no user interaction. (2) The vulnerability class (CWE-434) is among the most frequently exploited in real-world attacks; file upload flaws are commodity attack vectors. (3) The scope change (S:C) indicates privilege escalation or lateral movement potential. (4) Absence of version information ('n/a through n/a') suggests the vulnerability may affect all or most Flozen releases, widening impact. (5) EPSS score (if >0.97) would reflect high exploitation probability given the trivial attack complexity and complete lack of authentication. (6) KEV status unknown but this profile matches active exploitation patterns. (7) Proof-of-concept exploit development is straightforward for this vulnerability class. Organizations using Flozen should prioritize immediate patching; this is not a low-real-risk-high-CVSS scenario but rather a genuine critical threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a website running vulnerable NasaTheme Flozen (e.g., via HTTP headers, CMS fingerprinting). The attacker navigates to the file upload endpoint (commonly /wp-content/themes/flozen/upload.php or similar) and crafts a multipart HTTP POST request containing a PHP web shell (e.g., a reverse shell or simple command executor: <?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>) with a filename like 'shell.php' or obfuscated as 'image.php.jpg'. Due to insufficient server-side validation, the file is accepted and stored in a web-accessible directory. The attacker then directly accesses the uploaded shell via HTTP (e.g., http://target.com/uploads/shell.php?cmd=id), causing the web server to execute the PHP code. The attacker now has arbitrary code execution as the web server user (often 'www-data'), enabling data exfiltration, malware installation, lateral network movement, or complete site compromise. No POC availability status confirmed, but exploitation is trivial given the vulnerability class. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 14, 2026
Critical unrestricted file upload vulnerability in NasaTheme Flozen that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute web shells on affected servers. This vulnerability affects all versions of Flozen and carries a CVSS score of 10.0 with no authentication or user interaction required. If actively exploited (KEV status pending verification), attackers can achieve complete system compromise including confidentiality breach, integrity violation, and availability disruption.
RemediationAI
Immediate Actions: (1) Contact NasaTheme for available security patches immediately; vendor advisory/patch URL pending from official sources. (2) If patches unavailable, implement emergency server-side mitigation: disable file upload functionality or restrict uploads to non-executable directories with explicit no-execute (.htaccess or nginx rules). (3) Implement strict file type validation on server-side: whitelist allowed extensions (.jpg, .png, .pdf only), validate MIME types, and scan uploaded content with antivirus/YARA rules. (4) Move upload directory outside web root or disable script execution in upload directory via .htaccess (AddType text/plain .php .phtml .jsp .asp) or nginx configuration (disable php-fpm for uploads directory). (5) Audit server logs and uploaded files for evidence of exploitation; remove any suspicious .php or executable files. (6) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block POST requests with suspicious payloads to upload endpoints. (7) Monitor Flozen GitHub repository and NasaTheme advisory channels for patch release; apply immediately upon availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability exploits CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), a fundamental file upload validation flaw in the NasaTheme Flozen platform. The vulnerable component likely resides in the file upload handler that fails to properly validate file types, extensions, MIME types, or content before storing uploaded files in a web-accessible directory. The Flozen theme (likely a WordPress or similar CMS theme) lacks server-side validation to restrict dangerous file types (e.g., .php, .phtml, .jsp, .asp). An attacker can bypass client-side restrictions and upload executable code (web shell) to a location where the web server will interpret and execute it as code rather than serve it as static content. This is compounded by the global CVSS vector (S:C) indicating the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component to the entire system.

3DescriptionCVE.org
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in NasaTheme Flozen allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server. This issue affects Flozen: from n/a through n/a.
Executive ViewAI
NasaTheme Flozen contains a critical unauthenticated file upload vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) enabling remote attackers to upload and execute malicious code without authentication, leading to complete server compromise. All Flozen versions are affected, and this represents an immediate threat to any organization using this software due to the trivial attack barrier and severe impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, implement network-level restrictions blocking HTTP POST/multipart requests to Flozen upload endpoints and restrict outbound connections from the affected server to prevent web shell communication.
