Technical details

The vulnerability exists in app_user_login_model.php::cekUserLogin(), which enables KCFinder for all authenticated users by setting $_SESSION['ADMIN_RS_KCFINDER']['disabled']=false. The denylist in KCFinder config.php omits dangerous extensions (.php5, .pht, .phar, .inc, .htm, .htaccess), and uploaded files are stored in a web-accessible directory with no MIME-type or content verification. An authenticated attacker can upload a PHP-variant shell and execute arbitrary code under the web server user account. No patch has been released; the project is maintained via rolling releases with no versioning scheme.
