Dangerous file upload via case-sensitive denylist check
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Dangerous file upload in Flask-Reuploaded 1.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to store denied file types via name overrides. UploadSet.save extracts a caller-supplied filename extension without lowercasing it, then compares it with lowercase AllExcept denylist entries. Exploitation requires a user-influenced override, a denylist, and case-insensitive extension handling; an execution-capable upload directory enables code execution with web-server privileges.
