## Technical details

An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in the vBizz component (v1.0.7) for Joomla. The flaw is located in the 'employee' view endpoint, where the 'profile_pic' parameter fails to properly validate file extensions or content types during a POST request. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by uploading a PHP shell disguised as an image or directly as a .php file. Once uploaded to the web-accessible 'uploads' directory, the attacker can execute the script to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) with the privileges of the web server. A public exploit has been available since 2019.
