What is CVE-2018-18924?
The image-upload feature in ProjeQtOr version 7.2.5 is compromised, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This is possible due to an error in handling rejected file uploads, where invalid files are still retained on the server with predictable filenames following a misleading 'This file is not a valid image' message. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can upload a specifically crafted .shtml file containing malicious commands, leading to potential unauthorized access and system manipulation.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
