Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in mods/_core/properties/lib/course.inc.php in ATutor before 2.2 patch 6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a file with a PHP extension as a customicon for a new course, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in content/.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects ATutor installations before 2.2 patch 6. An authenticated user could upload a course icon that is actually PHP code, then have the server run it. For an exposed learning platform, this can turn a low-privilege account into server-side code execution. Likely exposure is ATutor before 2.2 patch 6, especially systems where authenticated users can create courses or upload custom course icons. The bundle does not provide CPEs, deployment prevalence, or default configuration details. Treat this as a high-priority legacy application risk if ATutor is present. The issue requires authentication, but successful abuse can lead to arbitrary server-side code execution. Prioritize patch verification and exposed-instance review. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ATutor to 2.2 patch 6 or later, following vendor guidance.; Restrict course creation and custom icon uploads to trusted users until remediated.; Check vendor documentation before applying production workarounds..
