Discussion

phUploader 'phUploader.php' Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability

phUploader is prone to an arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected webserver process. This may help the attacker compromise the application; other attacks are possible.

Versions prior to phUploader 1.3 are vulnerable.
