CVE-2008-6178: Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php i...

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php in FCKeditor 2.2, as used in Falt4 CMS, Nuke ET, and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by creating a file with PHP sequences preceded by a ZIP header, uploading this file via a FileUpload action with the application/zip content type, and then accessing this file via a direct request to the file in UserFiles/File/, probably a related issue to CVE-2005-4094. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old web-editor upload flaw that can let an internet attacker place executable PHP content on a server and run it. The sources name FCKeditor 2.2 and products embedding it, including Falt4 CMS and Nuke ET. The affected product list and fixed-version information are incomplete. Most exposure is in legacy PHP sites, CMS installs, or bundled third-party components that still include FCKeditor 2.2 or the vulnerable connector path. Publicly reachable editor or file-manager endpoints increase concern. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing PHP site still contains this legacy editor component. The business risk is server compromise from an upload feature, but urgency depends on whether the vulnerable connector is present and reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory web roots for FCKeditor 2.2 and the vulnerable connector path.; Disable the PHP file-manager connector if it is not required.; Prevent PHP execution in user-upload directories..
