Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an unrestricted file upload flaw in the Student-Management-System. It occurs in the student_profile_pic.php file where the choose_file argument is manipulated to upload malicious files without proper validation. Attackers can upload PHP files to the web-accessible upload directory, enabling remote code execution if PHP execution is allowed.

Detection Guidance

Check for unexpected PHP files in web-accessible directories like asset/upload/. Look for files with .php extensions or unusual filenames. Inspect network traffic for upload requests to student_profile_pic.php or staff_profile_pic.php. Use tools like curl to test file upload functionality with manipulated choose_file arguments.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to upload and execute malicious PHP files on the server, gaining remote control. This could lead to data theft, server compromise, or further network infiltration. The attack can be performed remotely without authentication.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules for protected health information. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable script execution in the upload directory via server configuration. Implement strict server-side validation for file uploads, including allowed extensions, MIME types, and size limits. Generate random filenames for uploaded files. Restrict access to upload directories and monitor for unauthorized uploads.
