Authenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP upload
Published Apr 6, 2026 · Updated Apr 6, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in Cyber-III Student Management System allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code. AssignmentSection/submission/upload.php passes the basename of the client-supplied filename to move_uploaded_file without checking its extension or MIME type, placing it in a web-accessible uploads directory. A valid student session is required; requesting the planted PHP file executes it with the web server's privileges.
