Remote code execution via faulty upload nonce validation
Published Dec 10, 2025 · Updated Dec 10, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Video Merchant 5.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files through an administrator's browser. The video_merchant_add_video_file() function processes the upload action without correct nonce validation, so a forged request can place an attacker-chosen file on the server. Exploitation requires a site administrator to perform the forged action, after which an executable upload enables remote code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
