Authenticated privilege escalation via unrestricted upload
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in Diem 5.1.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload arbitrary files through the Widget Editor. The public record names dmWidgetContentBaseMediaForm.php but does not disclose the affected function or failed validation operation. Low-privileged access is required, no user interaction is needed, and the documented consequence is privilege escalation rather than confirmed code execution.
