Unauthenticated arbitrary file upload via unvalidated image URL
Published Nov 1, 2025 · Updated Nov 1, 2025
Arbitrary file upload in Essekia Tablesome Table 1.1.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to write files via external image URLs. The set_featured_image_from_external_url() function fetches attacker-selected content and writes its response body to the uploads directory without checking its file type. Exploitation requires a configured workflow trigger that lets unauthenticated users supply featured-image URLs; executable uploads enable remote code execution.
