Bitweaver mod_mime file upload
| bitweaver-modmime-file-upload (27215) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Bitweaver could allow a remote attacker to upload malicious PHP files, caused by improper validation of file extensions by the image upload functionality. If the 'mod_mime' module is installed on the Web server, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to the /articles/edit.php script to upload a malicious PHP file, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of Bitweaver (1.3.1 or later), available from the Bitweaver Web site. See References.
