CVE-2025-2687Network attack vector

Arbitrary file upload via image handler

Published Mar 24, 2025 · Updated Mar 24, 2025

Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester eLearning System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to place arbitrary files. The /user/index.php image handler accepts the attacker-controlled File upload without restricting dangerous file types; its function name and storage path are undisclosed. A low-privileged user account is required, and the established consequence is arbitrary file placement rather than confirmed code execution.
