Official description
WebsiteBaker CMS before 2.13.10 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the module installation feature that allows authenticated administrators to achieve remote code execution by uploading a crafted ZIP archive containing a PHP webshell alongside a valid info.php metadata file. Attackers can place the malicious archive through the module installation interface, causing the application to extract the webshell into a web-accessible modules/ subdirectory where it becomes immediately executable by any unauthenticated user via direct HTTP request.

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.
