Technical details
This is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) in express-cart versions before 1.1.7. The file upload functionality lacks proper validation or restrictions on file types and content, allowing an authenticated user with administrative privileges to upload and execute arbitrary files on the server. The attack requires prior authentication with elevated privileges, but once exploited, an attacker gains remote code execution on the hosting machine. The vulnerability was fixed in version 1.1.7 with added limitations to file uploads as shown in the commit adding validation controls to the admin file upload routes.
