Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from two key issues in endpoint.php
: 1) No authentication requirement for uploads, and 2) The $uploader->allowedExtensions
array being empty by default (line 38), disabling file type filtering. While the allowedExtensions
configuration is set in endpoint.php
, the actual vulnerability manifests in the UploadHandler::handle()
method which executes the upload logic using these insecure defaults. The advisory explicitly references lines 37-38 in endpoint.php
where these insecure configurations are set, and the handle()
method is the entry point that processes uploads without performing critical security checks.
