CVE-2022-1648Network attack vector

Remote code execution via escaped PHP upload

Published Jul 26, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Relative path traversal in Pandora FMS 7.0NG.760 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through File Manager. File Manager accepts a privileged user’s relative path while uploading a PHP file, letting the file escape the non-executable images directory. Administrative File Manager access is required; the escaped script runs remotely with the privileges of the web application.
