AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, it is recommended to restrict access to the application, enable authentication, and configure upload filters to prevent uploading executable files. Avoid exposing the upload directory to public access. Monitor for suspicious uploads and activity related to file execution.
Description
dulldusk/phpfm versions through 1.8.0 contain an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code. The application has no default authentication and an empty upload extension filter, enabling attackers to upload PHP webshells and execute them by accessing the uploaded file path. This vulnerability is critical with a CVSS score of 9.8.
