CVE-2023-5301Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via cached filename injection

Published Sep 30, 2023 · Updated Sep 20, 2024

OS command injection in DedeCMS 5.7.111 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through a crafted album upload filename. AddMyAddon writes the unescaped filename from albumUploadFiles into a PHP cache file that a later include evaluates as code. Management-page access and an album submission are required; injected commands run with the web-server process account and can read or alter data or interrupt service.
