Unauthenticated arbitrary file upload via unenforced allowlist
Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in ioTheme WebStack 1.2024 and earlier allows remote attackers to place arbitrary files on the server. The unauthenticated img_upload AJAX hook calls io_img_upload(), which copies the supplied extension into a generated name and renames the temporary file without enforcing its image allowlist. No account or user interaction is required; PHP execution follows when the uploads directory serves the attacker-controlled file through a PHP handler.
