Resumes Management and Job Application Website 1.0 – RCE (Unauthenticated)
The Resumes Management and Job Application Website 1.0 allows unauthenticated users to upload resume files. By uploading a PHP file with malicious code, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the server and gain unauthorized access. The provided exploit code uploads a PHP file named 'rce.php' containing a command to retrieve the current user's information using the 'whoami' command. When accessing the uploaded file through the URL, the output of the 'whoami' command is displayed.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and file type checking when accepting file uploads. Additionally, the web server should be configured to prevent the execution of uploaded PHP files.
