CWE-434Published: November 17, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
OpenSupports v4.11.0 is vulnerable to Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type. In the comment function, an attacker can bypass security restrictions and upload a .bat file by manipulating the file's magic bytes to masquerade as an allowed type. This can enable the attacker to execute arbitrary code or establish a reverse shell, leading to unauthorized file writes or control over the victim's station via a crafted file upload operation.
Risk Analysis
OpenSupports is vulnerable to unrestricted file uploads where an attacker can bypass security checks to upload malicious files. This allows for remote code execution or the establishment of a reverse shell, posing a critical threat to the server.
