Description Preview

The vulnerability is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in plog-admin/plog-upload.php in Plogger 1.0 RC1 and earlier versions. This vulnerability allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by uploading a ZIP file that contains a PHP file and a non-zero length PNG file. The PHP file can then be accessed via a direct request to it in plog-content/uploads/archive/, leading to potential unauthorized access and control over the system.

Overview

The vulnerability is caused by the lack of proper validation of uploaded files in Plogger 1.0 RC1 and earlier versions. This allows an attacker to upload a ZIP file containing a PHP file and a non-zero length PNG file. Once the file is uploaded, the attacker can execute arbitrary code by accessing the PHP file via a direct request. This can lead to unauthorized access and control over the system.

Remediation

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to a later version of Plogger that has addressed this vulnerability. If updating is not an option, it is advised to implement proper input validation checks to ensure only valid and safe files are uploaded.
