Unauthenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP upload
Published Jun 7, 2025 · Updated Jun 9, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester Client Database Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute PHP code. The user_update_customer_order.php endpoint accepts uploaded_file as a server-executable PHP file without validating its type or requiring authorization. No login is required, and the uploaded script is retrievable from the web-accessible files directory, enabling server control and data access or modification.
