CVE-2019-25673: UniSharp Laravel File Manager v2.0.0-alpha7 Arbitrary File Upload

UniSharp Laravel File Manager v2.0.0-alpha7 and v2.0 contain an arbitrary file upload vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to upload malicious files by sending multipart form data to the upload endpoint. Attackers can upload PHP files with the type parameter set to Files and execute arbitrary code by accessing the uploaded file through the working directory path.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw affects UniSharp Laravel File Manager 2.0.0-alpha7 and 2.0. An authenticated user can upload a malicious file and potentially run code on the server. For businesses, the risk is highest where this package is exposed in production and accessible to low-privileged users.

Executive priority

Prioritize within normal emergency patching for exposed production systems. The combination of authenticated remote code execution potential and public exploit information creates meaningful business risk, especially for customer-facing Laravel applications.

Technical view

CVE-2019-25673 is a CWE-434 arbitrary file upload issue in UniSharp Laravel File Manager. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.8, reflecting network access, low complexity, required authentication, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Public references include an Exploit-DB entry, but the provided sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to Laravel applications using UniSharp Laravel File Manager 2.0.0-alpha7 or 2.0. Risk increases if the file manager is reachable from the internet or available to broadly assigned authenticated accounts.

Exploitation context

The issue requires authentication, but no user interaction. Public exploit information exists, so vulnerable internet-facing deployments should be treated as high priority. CISA KEV status is not indicated in the provided data, and active exploitation is not confirmed by the sources.

Researcher notes

The source bundle names affected versions inconsistently as v2.0.0-alpha7, v2.0, and affected version 2.0.0. No authoritative fixed version is provided here. Avoid assuming broader Laravel File Manager versions are vulnerable without confirming against vendor or advisory data.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify applications using UniSharp Laravel File Manager 2.0.0-alpha7 or 2.0.
  • Check vendor repository and advisories for fixed versions or official remediation.
  • Restrict access to trusted administrators until remediation is confirmed.
  • Disable or remove the file manager if it is not required.
  • Review upload handling and block executable server-side file types.

Validation and detection

  • Review composer manifests and lock files for the affected package and version.
  • Confirm whether file manager routes are internet-facing or internally restricted.
  • Inspect upload directories for unexpected executable files.
  • Review web and application logs for suspicious upload and file access activity.
  • Validate remediation against current vendor guidance before closing the finding.
