File Upload Vulnerability in Aggregation Module for Drupal

CVE-2008-3001

Summary

The Aggregation module for Drupal versions prior to 5.x-4.4 is susceptible to a file upload vulnerability that allows remote attackers to upload files with arbitrary extensions. This exploitation can potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the server, thereby posing significant security risks. The issue arises from the module's handling of crafted feeds, which do not adequately validate file types before processing uploads. This flaw emphasizes the need for robust validation mechanisms to protect against unauthorized actions on web platforms.
