CVE-2020-37023: Koken CMS 0.22.24 - Arbitrary File Upload

Koken CMS 0.22.24 contains a file upload vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to bypass file extension restrictions by renaming malicious PHP files. Attackers can upload PHP files with system command execution capabilities by manipulating the file upload request through a web proxy and changing the file extension.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Koken CMS 0.22.24 has a high-risk upload flaw. A logged-in attacker can bypass file-type checks and upload a PHP file that may execute system commands. This could lead to full compromise of the website and its data. Exposure is most likely where Koken CMS 0.22.24 is deployed, especially internet-facing sites with accessible authenticated upload functionality. The issue requires valid low-privilege access, so compromised, reused, or weak credentials materially increase risk. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing Koken 0.22.24 site, particularly if multiple users can log in. The business risk is website takeover, data exposure, and service disruption. If the platform is unsupported or no fix is available, plan replacement or isolation quickly. Mitigation focus: Identify any Koken CMS deployments and confirm whether version 0.22.24 is present.; Check Koken or hosting-provider guidance for an official update or supported remediation.; Restrict administrative and upload access to trusted users and networks where possible..
