Administrator code execution via unrestricted file rename
Published Dec 11, 2025 · Updated Dec 11, 2025
Arbitrary file rename in EasyImages 2.0 2.8.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through /admin/filer.php. The action=rename handler accepts attacker-controlled path and filename values and changes an uploaded SVG web shell to a .php file without restricting the new extension. The CNA record requires Administrator privileges; the published proof of concept instead relies on an authenticated administrator opening a crafted rename URL, after which the PHP file executes as a web shell.
