The component upload/admin.php?/deal/ allows users to upload files to the system. This can be leveraged to upload arbitrary code to the system. We discovered that the system does not sanitize the values passed in from the upload form. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to upload a PHP file with a malicious code that will be executed upon system reload. We discovered at least 2 users within our security team that were already aware of this issue and had patched their systems. Unfortunately, these users were also not aware of the other critical vulnerabilities that were also discovered in this version. It is worth noting that the attacker does not need to be a system administrator to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to install scripts that can be used to escalate privileges.
