Executive Summary

CVE-2025-15404 is a critical unrestricted file upload vulnerability in campcodes School File Management System version 1.0. It exists in the /save_file.php file where improper handling of the 'file' argument allows an attacker to upload files without any restriction or validation. This means attackers can upload arbitrary and potentially dangerous files that the system may automatically process, leading to security risks. [1, 2, 3]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can severely impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Attackers can upload malicious files that may be executed or processed by the system, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server, compromise sensitive data, disrupt system operations, and gain unauthorized access. [1, 2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by checking for the presence of the vulnerable endpoint /save_file.php in the campcodes School File Management System version 1.0. One method is to use Google dorking with queries like "inurl:save_file.php" to locate potentially vulnerable targets. Additionally, monitoring web server logs for unusual POST requests to /save_file.php that include file upload attempts can help detect exploitation attempts. Commands such as using curl to test file upload functionality can be used, for example: curl -X POST -F "[email protected]" http://target/save_file.php to see if the system accepts unrestricted file uploads.
