Technical details

An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in code-projects Online Job Portal 1.0 within the /JobSeekerInsert.php component. The application fails to validate the 'txtFile' argument, which is intended for resume uploads during the job seeker registration process. Specifically, the code lacks file extension whitelisting, MIME type checking, and filename sanitization, while saving files directly to a web-accessible '/upload/' directory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by uploading a PHP webshell to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) with the privileges of the web server user. Public exploit code (PoC) using curl has been disclosed.
