Unauthenticated file upload via unchecked upload function
Published Mar 19, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in Thom Stark File Away 3.9.9.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to place files on the server. The upload() function performs neither a capability check nor file-type validation before writing attacker-supplied content. No authentication or user interaction is required; executable server-side files placed under web-accessible content can yield code execution.
