CVE-2008-7215
CWE-20Published: September 11, 2009· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
5.8
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Image Manager in MOStlyCE before 2.4, as used in Mambo 4.6.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to rename arbitrary files and cause a denial of service via modified file[NewFile][name], file[NewFile][tmp_name], and file[NewFile][size] parameters in a FileUpload command, which are used to modify equivalent variables in $_FILES that are accessed when the is_uploaded_file check fails.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-7215 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
