Technical details

The vulnerability exists in ILIAS's ZIP upload handling mechanism, allowing arbitrary code execution through maliciously crafted ZIP archives. The issue affects multiple versions: 6.23, 7 before 7.22, and 8.1. Attack vectors depend on the specific upload functionality exposed; typical preconditions may include authenticated access or public upload endpoints.
