Stored script execution via unchecked upload extension
Published Apr 20, 2025 · Updated Apr 21, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in KuangStudy KuangSimpleBBS 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to store arbitrary files on the server. QuestionController.fileUpload retains the submitted filename extension, appends it to a UUID, and calls transferTo without validating the extension. A valid session is required; uploaded active content becomes web-accessible, enabling stored script execution in a visitor's browser.
