Authenticated code execution via unchecked module archive
Published May 4, 2026 · Updated May 4, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in OpenSTAManager 2.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP through a module archive. The update handler extracts the uploaded ZIP, trusts its MODULE descriptor, and recursively copies the archive directory, including PHP files, into the web-served modules tree. High-privilege access and enabled updates are required; uploaded PHP runs as the web application account.
