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 | Exploitation requires reaching the application's file-upload path handled by the save_files function in admin_class.php and supplying a file whose type is not restricted by the application, so success depends on the upload directory being web-accessible and permitting server-side script execution (e.g., PHP). The provided CVSS vector claims no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction, but the code's location in admin_class.php suggests an administrative context that may require a logged-in session - this should be confirmed. No patched version exists because the project uses rolling releases and has not responded, so all deployments running code at or before commit 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4 are potentially affected. |
| Impact | This is an unrestricted file upload flaw (CWE-434) in the save_files function of admin_class.php in oretnom23's file-management-system-php. The VulDB-assigned CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) scores 6.9 and describes remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with LOW impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L). Publicly available exploit code exists (POC=YES, via the project's GitHub issue #7), and the embedded SSVC/temporal signal E:P indicates a proof-of-concept rather than functional/weaponized exploitation. The CVE is NOT in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of active, in-the-wild exploitation - the signals point to an available-but-not-widely-exploited issue. The signals partly conflict: unrestricted file upload is classically a high-impact (potential RCE/webshell) issue, yet VulDB rated all impacts only LOW, likely a conservative scoring choice; verify the true impact against the application's upload directory handling. Also note the function resides in 'admin_class.php', which implies an administrative context and possible authentication, yet the vector asserts PR:N - this auth question should be verified with the code/vendor. The vendor has not responded to the issue report, so no patch exists. Net: a real but likely targeted/opportunistic concern against a niche product, not a broad emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker locates the file-upload endpoint backed by the save_files function and submits a request with a manipulated 'Upload' argument carrying a malicious file (e.g., a PHP webshell) that the application fails to restrict by type. If the upload lands in a web-accessible, script-executable directory, the attacker then requests the uploaded file to run arbitrary server-side code. Proof-of-concept exploit details have been published in the project's GitHub issue tracker. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in oretnom23's file-management-system-php lets remote attackers supply files of unrestricted type through the save_files function in admin_class.php, with potential server-side code execution if uploaded files land in a web-accessible directory that executes PHP. Affected code includes deployments at or before commit 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4, and no fixed release is identified because the project uses rolling releases and has not responded to the issue report; publicly available exploit code exists. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector lists PR:N, but the handler's administrative location leaves authentication requirements unconfirmed and no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation was provided.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis: the project uses rolling releases, has not responded to the issue report, and no fixed version is listed for the affected code at or before commit 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4. Until an upstream fix is available, restrict access to the save_files upload handler in admin_class.php to trusted authenticated administrators and monitor the referenced VulDB and GitHub issue pages for updates. Enforce a server-side allowlist of file extensions and MIME types on upload, reject executable types such as .php and polyglot files, and generate randomized non-executable filenames; these controls can break legitimate uploads of uncommon file types if the allowlist is too narrow. Store uploaded files outside the web root or disable script execution in the upload directory via web-server configuration (for example, removing PHP handlers for that path); moving storage may require application code changes, and disabling execution can break features that rely on serving dynamic content from uploads. As a compensating control, block or tightly rate-limit multipart uploads to the affected administrative endpoint at the WAF or reverse proxy, accepting that this may disrupt normal administrative file-management workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-434, unrestricted upload of a file with a dangerous type, in a PHP file-management application. The save_files function in admin_class.php handles an Upload argument without adequate server-side validation of file extension, MIME type, or content, so an attacker who can reach that upload path may place executable content in the application's storage. Exploitation depends on the upload directory being reachable by the web server and configured to execute server-side scripts such as PHP; otherwise the impact is limited to stored files and possible further abuse. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:oretnom23:file-management-system-php:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* marks the product without version constraints, consistent with the project's rolling-release model, and the referenced GitHub issue #7 is the public report/exploit source. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector scores 6.9 with PR:N, while the independent assessment uses CVSS 3.1 PR:L and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; this auth discrepancy should be resolved against the deployed code path.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in oretnom23 file-management-system-php up to 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4. This affects the function save_files of the file admin_class.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument Upload can lead to unrestricted upload. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
