Arbitrary file upload via unchecked profile picture
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in SourceCodester Online Faculty Clearance System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to store arbitrary files. The Profile Picture Upload handler in production/edit_picture.php passes the attacker-controlled File value to move_uploaded_file without enforcing an allowed file type. A faculty account and network access to the profile-editing feature are required; the public record does not establish code execution.
