XOOPS Cube PROJECT FileManager - 'xupload.php' Arbitrary File Upload

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/53945/info

FileManager is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload arbitrary files. The issue occurs because the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to upload arbitrary files to the affected computer; this can result in arbitrary code execution within the context of the vulnerable application.
