CVE-2021-23814
Published Dec 17, 2021 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
This affects versions of the package unisharp/laravel-filemanager before 2.6.2. The upload() function does not sufficiently validate the file type when uploading.
An attacker may be able to reproduce the following steps:
- Install a package with a web Laravel application.
- Navigate to the Upload window
- Upload an image file, then capture the request
- Edit the request contents with a malicious file (webshell)
- Enter the path of file uploaded on URL - Remote Code Execution
Note: Prevention for bad extensions can be done by using a whitelist in the config file(lfm.php). Corresponding document can be found in here.
