An authenticated user is able to upload a file to the remote computer. This is done via uploading to a folder on the server, then the server sends it to the remote computer. The server is vulnerable to uploading arbitrary files, inducing custom ASP or ASPX script and executing it from the upload directory as there is no protection around file types uploaded, or ability to read from the upload directory.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to the file manager or aDocumentsa of a machine
- Upload an ASPX shell
- Example shell: cmdasp.aspx
a cmd.aspx is a basic asp command shell
- Open the script in a new tab
- Code execution
