Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Pixie version 1.0.4
Description
The issue allows remote authenticated users to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code. This is achieved by sending a POST request to the "admin/index.php?s=publish&x=filemanager" endpoint with a filename that has a double extension, such as a .jpg.php file, and setting the Content-Type to image/jpeg.
Recommendations
For Pixie version 1.0.4, consider restricting access to the admin/index.php file and validating file uploads to prevent execution of arbitrary PHP code. As a temporary workaround, restrict the
filemanager functionality in the admin/index.php endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using the x=filemanager parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.Exploitability
