Authenticated code execution via unrestricted file upload
Published Dec 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in AeroCms 0.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code through the post editor. The /admin/posts.php?source=edit_post handler accepts a webshell as an uploaded post file and makes it reachable for execution by the web server. Administrative privileges are required; successful exploitation grants control of the web server and its accessible data and services.
