MITRE ATT&CK
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 | Requires authenticated access (PR:L) to the Plugin Installer component so the attacker can invoke backend/api_plugins.php and supply the plugin_file argument; the feature must be reachable over the network. Exploitation succeeds against configurations where ZipArchive::extractTo processes attacker-supplied archives without filename validation, allowing a Zip-Slip traversal entry or an executable PHP payload to be written to a web-accessible directory. Limiting factors: the required authentication/privilege level for the plugin installer, no user interaction needed (UI:N), and the fact that the v1.0.1 .htaccess fix (RewriteRule blocking ^plugins/.*\.php$) neutralizes the PHP-execution path on patched installs. No exploitation is possible on systems upgraded to 1.0.1. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) scores 5.3 (Medium) and indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that nonetheless requires some level of authentication (PR:L) - consistent with an admin/operator-facing Plugin Installer feature rather than a fully anonymous endpoint. The vector carries E:P (Proof-of-Concept), and the description explicitly states the exploit 'has been disclosed publicly and may be used,' so publicly available exploit code exists; however there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score in the input, so there is no evidence of active, in-the-wild exploitation - do not conflate public POC with active exploitation. VulDB (the sole CNA/reporter) scored the impact as Low across C/I/A, but this likely understates the true technical ceiling: CWE-434 unrestricted upload combined with the README-confirmed Zip-Slip path traversal in ZipArchive::extractTo can allow arbitrary file write and potential webshell/RCE, which is why the vendor's own fix (a .htaccess rule blocking PHP execution under plugins/) was necessary. The dominant risk-limiting factor is deployment footprint: fast-tunnel is an obscure single-maintainer open-source project with negligible enterprise presence, so despite the public POC this is realistically a targeted/opportunistic risk rather than a widespread one. A patch (v1.0.1) is confirmed available, making remediation straightforward. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege user (PR:L) with access to the Plugin Installer submits a crafted ZIP via the plugin_file argument to backend/api_plugins.php; ZipArchive::extractTo unpacks it without validating filenames, so a Zip-Slip traversal entry or a disguised PHP file is written into a web-reachable path. A public proof-of-concept has been disclosed, lowering the barrier to reproduction and enabling an attacker to drop a webshell and execute code on the host. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Authenticated attackers can abuse the plugin installer in arizu-id Fast Tunnel 1.0.0 to upload arbitrary files because the plugin_file argument is passed to ZipArchive::extractTo without adequate validation. Successful exploitation can write PHP payloads or Zip-Slip paths into web-accessible locations, with integrity impact assessed as High and confidentiality/availability impact as Low; publicly available exploit code exists, but no CISA KEV confirmation is available. The issue is fixed in version 1.0.1.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Fast Tunnel 1.0.1, which is the vendor-released patch (commit 04573681420295f7b327c9da3b101aed2f3cf432); release notes are at https://github.com/arizu-id/fast-tunnel/releases/tag/1.0.1 and the advisory trail starts at https://vuldb.com/vuln/422655. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict access to backend/api_plugins.php and the Plugin Installer to trusted authenticated administrators, disable or remove the plugin-upload feature if it is not needed, and validate that uploaded archives contain no PHP files or ../ traversal entries before extraction; these controls reduce exposure but do not replace the patch. On Apache, the 1.0.1 .htaccess rule RewriteRule ^plugins/.*\.php$ - [F,L] blocks direct execution of PHP under plugins/, but it is Apache-specific and does not prevent malicious files from being written, so pair it with upload filtering and a review of existing plugin directory contents.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Fast Tunnel is a PHP application whose plugin installer is handled by backend/api_plugins.php. The affected code takes the plugin_file argument and calls ZipArchive::extractTo, so an authenticated user with access to the installer can supply a crafted archive containing executable PHP or path-traversal (Zip-Slip) entries; CWE-434 describes the resulting unrestricted upload of a dangerous file type. The vulnerable path requires network reachability and authenticated access (PR:L/UI:N), and exploitation is limited to configurations where extracted filenames are not validated before being written under a web-accessible plugins directory. The 1.0.1 fix adds an Apache .htaccess rule blocking direct execution of PHP files under plugins/ and accompanies the vendor release/commit; the README also credits a Zip-Slip path traversal finding.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in arizu-id fast-tunnel 1.0.0. Affected by this issue is the function ZipArchive::extractTo of the file backend/api_plugins.php of the component Plugin Installer. Such manipulation of the argument plugin_file leads to unrestricted upload. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.0.1 can resolve this issue. The name of the patch is 04573681420295f7b327c9da3b101aed2f3cf432. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
