CVE-2020-36897Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unrestricted ASPX upload

Published Dec 10, 2025 · Updated Dec 10, 2025

Unrestricted file upload in QiHang Media Web Digital Signage 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands. The QH.aspx upload handler accepts a fileToUpload payload without type verification and uses remotePath to write it into an attacker-selected web-accessible location. An unauthenticated network request can therefore plant and invoke an ASPX web shell with the web-server process's privileges.
