-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X2Engine <= 4.1.7 (FileUploadsFilter.php) Unrestricted File Upload Vulnerability -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [-] Software Link: http://www.x2engine.com/ [-] Affected Versions: Version 4.1.7 and probably prior versions. [-] Vulnerability Description: The vulnerability exists because of the FileUploadsFilter::EXT_BLACKLIST constant, which is a regular expression for blacklisted files. Due to a lack of case-insensitive matching, the global upload filter could be bypassed by uploading a malicious file with capital letters within the extension. This can be exploited to upload and execute arbitrary PHP scripts if X2Engine is running on a case-insensitive filesystem or if the web server is configured to handle files extensions in a case-insensitive fashion. [-] Solution: Update to version 4.2 or later.
