Authenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP upload
Published Oct 11, 2022 · Updated May 20, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in Church Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PHP file. /admin/admin_pic.php accepts a multipart image upload with a .php filename and stores it in the web-accessible /admin/uploads directory, where the server executes it. A Super Admin session is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied PHP with the web server's privileges and permits full application-host compromise.
