CVE-2012-10036 (GCVE-0-2012-10036)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-08 18:12 – Updated: 2026-05-15 11:13 Unsupported When Assigned

Title

Project Pier <= 0.8.8 Arbitrary File Upload RCE

Summary

Project Pier 0.8.8 and earlier contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in tools/upload_file.php. The upload handler fails to validate the file type or enforce authentication, allowing remote attackers to upload malicious PHP files directly into a web-accessible directory. The uploaded file is stored with a predictable suffix and can be executed by requesting its URL, resulting in remote code execution.

Severity

9.3 (Critical)
