CVE-2024-53636Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via traversed upload path

Published Apr 26, 2025 · Updated Dec 12, 2025

Arbitrary file upload in Serosoft Academia SIS EagleR-1.0.118 allows remote authenticated users to execute code via path traversal. The writefile.php handler passes the user-controlled filePath value directly to move_uploaded_file without validating or restricting traversal sequences, allowing ../ paths to place uploaded files outside the intended directory. Authenticated access to the upload interface is required; a planted PHP web shell then runs commands with the web server's privileges.
