CVE-2020-10564Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via upload path traversal

Published Mar 13, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Path traversal in Iptanus File Upload before 4.13.0 allows remote attackers to execute code by uploading a crafted text file. The upload path is not confined to its intended directory, letting a crafted filename place a text file in lib, where wfu_include_lib executes it. No account or user interaction is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled PHP in the web server context.
