Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Critical


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple  remote File Upload vulnerabilities & Misconfiguration Read Bugs are detected on the official NASA CMS Subdomains. 
The Vulnerability allows to read the config & can result in malicious file uploads. Successful exploitation can result in 
dbms- & application compromise. The bugs are located in the available FCKeditor version & multiple nasa subdomains are vulnerable.

Attacker can for example scan for fckeditor bugs & exploit them via automatic routine. The method allows to manipulate 
multiple nasa subdomains.
 
Vulnerable Module(s):
					[+] FCKeditor


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...
