What is CVE-2023-45878?

The GibbonEdu product, specifically versions 25.0.1 and prior, is susceptible to an Arbitrary File Write vulnerability. This occurs because the endpoint rubrics_visualise_saveAjax.phps does not enforce proper authentication checks. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by supplying crafted img, path, and gibbonPersonID parameters. The img parameter must be a base64 encoded image, while the path parameter can dictate where the file is saved, utilizing the installation directory's absolute path. This lack of authentication permits the creation of PHP files in arbitrary locations, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution without any authentication requirements.

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.
