Authenticated web-shell upload via missing type validation
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 29, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in Andy Moyle Church Admin 4.4.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to place web shells on the server. The plugin's upload handling accepts attacker-supplied files without validating their type, permitting executable content under the web server. Subscriber-level access is required; a successfully placed web shell grants code execution with the web server's privileges.
