Vvveb: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

CVE-2026-126380 is a critical-severity unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability in Vvveb from Givanz, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with administrator privileges, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.0.9.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Vvveb to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Vvveb before 1.0.9.0 contains a denylist bypass in system/traits/media.php where '.phar' is misconfigured with a leading dot, allowing authenticated administrators to upload .phar PHP files. Attackers can upload a GIF magic-byte polyglot webshell bypassing binary inspection and execute arbitrary OS commands as the web-server user.

The underlying weakness: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
  • When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
  • Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
