## Technical details

The vulnerability is an unrestricted file upload flaw in admin/employee_insert.php and multiple other admin endpoints that accept file uploads. The application uses client-supplied filenames directly without extension validation, MIME type checking, or content inspection, and stores files in the web-accessible admin/user/ directory. Unauthenticated attackers bypass weak session checks to upload and execute PHP webshells, achieving remote code execution with web server privileges.
