Arbitrary file upload via Content-Type trust
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in the Image element in YOOtheme ZOO before 4.1.64 allows remote attackers to write files via frontend submission. The upload validation path decides whether a submitted file is an image from the client-supplied Content-Type alone and does not inspect the file bytes, so non-image content can be stored when labeled as image/. No authentication is required, but reachability depends on a published frontend submission form with an Image element; if uploaded scripts remain web-accessible and executable, the file write can become remote code execution.
