Overview

CVE-2019-17575 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 14, 2019 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

A file-rename filter bypass exists in admin/media/rename.php in WBCE CMS 1.4.0 and earlier. This can be exploited by an authenticated user with admin privileges to rename a media filename and extension. (For example: place PHP code in a .jpg file, and then change the file's base name to filename.ph and change the file's extension to p. Because of concatenation, the name is then treated as filename.php.) At the result, remote attackers can execute arbitrary PHP code.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
