CVE-2023-7041Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated file overwrite via traversal in newName

Published Dec 21, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Path traversal in Codelyfe Stupid Simple CMS 1.2.0 through 1.2.4 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite files via newName. The /file-manager/rename.php endpoint accepts ../ sequences in newName and uses the resulting path as the rename destination without confining it to the managed directory. A low-privileged account can alter or disrupt files reachable by the web-server process; no confidentiality impact is reported.
