CVE-2025-46193Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP upload

Published May 9, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2025

Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester Client Database Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary server code. The user_proposal_update_order.php handler accepts the uploaded_file_cancelled field without checking its type, MIME type, or extension and stores the file in the web-accessible /files/ directory. Authentication is not required, so execution occurs when the uploaded PHP file is requested, with the web server account's privileges.
