Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the File Manager's multi() endpoint, which does not properly validate file extensions when processing file uploads, particularly when the chunks parameter is 2 or higher. Attackers with view-only back-office credentials can leverage this to upload PHP files to the image/data/ directory and execute arbitrary code with server privileges. A patch is available in versions after 2.4.0.
