CVE-2023-6551
Last modified
CVE-2023-6551 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. As a simple library, class.upload.php does not perform an in-depth check on uploaded files, allowing a stored XSS vulnerability when the default configuration is used. Developers must be aware of that fact and use extension whitelisting accompanied by forcing the server to always provide content-type based on the file extension. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
