CVE-2024-42598Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via file-edit restriction bypass

Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 22, 2024

Code injection in SeaCMS 13.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through the player-file editor. The admin_editplayer.php handler applies file-edit restrictions that can be bypassed, allowing attacker-supplied server-side code to be written. Administrative access is required, and successful exploitation grants command execution with the web service account's privileges.
