CVE-2025-62056Network attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary file upload via missing type validation

Published Jan 22, 2026 · Updated Jan 22, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in BlazeThemes News Event 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload arbitrary server files. Published advisories identify missing file-type validation but do not disclose the affected upload handler or the exact operation that accepts untrusted content. Subscriber-level access is required; if the server executes an uploaded file, the attacker gains code execution.
