Authenticated code execution via unrestricted avatar upload
Published Apr 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester Online ID Generator System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code. The save_users method retains the supplied .php filename and passes it to move_uploaded_file, placing the file in the web-accessible uploads directory without extension or content validation. An administrator session can submit a crafted avatar and request the stored file to execute code in the web server context.
