Unrestricted file upload in POSIMYTH Innovations WDesignKit 1.0.40 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload web shells. Patchstack has not published the affected handler or the precise server-side validation operation that accepts dangerous file types. Administrator access is required, and an uploaded server-executable script grants persistent access and code execution in the web server context.
