Vulnerable File Upload Mechanism in Aimeos E-commerce Framework

Summary

Aimeos is an open-source e-commerce framework for online shops, which has been found to have a critical vulnerability affecting versions up to 2024.04.4.

This code, once uploaded, could be executed on the web server, leading to unauthorized access and potential exploitation of the system. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 2024.04.5 to mitigate this vulnerability and enhance the security of their e-commerce applications.
