Authenticated RCE via unchecked upload path
Published Jun 17, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in Sitecore PowerShell Extensions 7.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. PowerShellUploadFile2.aspx passes the attacker-controlled ItemUri as uploadArgs.Folder and leaves AllowedFileTypes unset, permitting any filename and extension. A valid Sitecore session is required; a crafted multipart request can place an ASPX web shell wherever the IIS identity can write, enabling server compromise.
