What is CVE-2025-46191?

The vulnerability arises in user_payment_update.php of SourceCodester's Client Database Management System 1.0, enabling attackers to upload arbitrary files due to insufficient validation checks for file extensions and MIME types. This weakness allows unauthenticated users to exploit the uploaded_file_cancelled field, potentially leading to the upload of malicious PHP scripts into accessible directories. If successful, this can result in the execution of remote commands by attackers, thereby compromising the system's integrity.
