A high privileged remote attacker can upload a .php file and then request it directly from /uploads/<filename>.php to achieve arbitrary code… (CVE-2026-14946)
This vulnerability allows a high privileged remote attacker to upload a .php file and then directly access it via the /uploads/ directory, leading to arbitrary code execution. The root cause is improper file type validation. Exploitation could result in full system compromise. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating high severity. No patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14946 describes a vulnerability where a high privileged remote attacker can upload a malicious .php file due to improper validation of file types. Once uploaded, the attacker can directly request the file from the /uploads/ directory, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the affected system. This vulnerability is categorized under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with high privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system are all severely impacted.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict file upload permissions and validate file types rigorously to prevent uploading executable scripts. Monitor and control access to the /uploads/ directory to limit direct execution of uploaded files.
