Description Preview

The vulnerability exists in the require/mail/NotificationMail.php in Webconsole in OCS Inventory NG OCS Inventory Server through version 2.5. It allows a privileged user to gain access to the server via a template file containing PHP code, as file extensions other than .html are permitted. This unrestricted file upload vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, providing an attacker with unauthorized access to the system.

Overview

The issue lies in the unrestricted file upload functionality of the OCS Inventory NG OCS Inventory Server. A privileged user can upload a template file containing PHP code, which can then be executed on the server. This is due to the system allowing file extensions other than .html, creating a potential security risk.

Remediation

The vulnerability has been addressed in later versions of the software. Users are advised to update their OCS Inventory NG OCS Inventory Server to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. It is also recommended to restrict file upload permissions and limit the types of allowed file extensions as an additional security measure.
