elFinder provides uploadDeny and uploadAllow options in its connector configuration to restrict which MIME types may be uploaded. When uploadDeny includes text/x-php, direct upload of .php, .phtml, and .phar files is correctly blocked. However, the extract command (ZIP decompression) internally calls checkExtractItems(), which invokes mimetypeInternalDetect() directly without passing the result through mimeTypeNormalize(). Because phtml, phar, and similar PHP-executable extensions are absent from mime.types, they are not resolved to text/x-php at …
The PHP connector's CSRF gate protects many mutating commands, but it does not protect the netmount connector command. In the shipped minimal connector setup, FTP network mounting is enabled by default, so a cross-site request can force an elFinder instance to mount an attacker-chosen FTP endpoint in the victim's session and cause the server to initiate an outbound FTP connection without the X-elFinder-CSRF token that other state-changing commands require. This …
elFinder 2.1.69 is vulnerable to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection bypass when PHP cURL is unavailable and URL uploads use the fsock_get_contents() fallback. An attacker who can submit a URL for server-side upload can use an attacker-controlled DNS hostname that initially resolves to an allowed public IP address and subsequently resolves to a loopback or private IP address. The URL validation checks the first resolved IP, but fsock_get_contents() opens …
An authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the elFinder MySQL volume driver (elFinderVolumeMySQL) allows any logged-in user, including users with read-only access to the affected volume, to inject SQL through a crafted target file hash. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data disclosure and denial of service. This vulnerability only affects installations configured to use the MySQL volume driver. Installations using the default LocalFileSystem driver are not affected.
elFinder contains a command injection vulnerability in the resize command. The bg (background color) parameter is accepted from user input and passed through image resize/rotate processing. In configurations that use the ImageMagick CLI backend, this value is incorporated into shell command strings without sufficient escaping. An attacker able to invoke the resize command with a crafted bg value may achieve arbitrary command execution as the web server process user. This …
