CVE-2026-53691
HighCVSS 8.6Summary
An unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Redeight CMS 1.0 allows authenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution (RCE) via the POST /admin/index.php?module=pages&mode=FileAdd endpoint. The application fails to validate file extensions and MIME types, permitting arbitrary PHP scripts to be uploaded to the /uploads/files/ directory where they are executed by the web server.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can take over the server, execute arbitrary PHP code, access sensitive data, or install malware, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update Redeight CMS to the latest version, implement server-side file type and extension validation, and restrict execution permissions on the uploads directory (e.g., disable script execution).
Other vulnerabilities in Redeight CMS
See all- CVE-2026-53692Medium
Redeight CMS version 1.0 stores user passwords using the MD5 algorithm without a salt. MD5 is a cryptographically broken algorithm and the lack of salting allows attackers to easily reverse the hashes using rainbow tables.
- CVE-2026-53690Critical
An SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Redeight CMS version 1.0 via the "userEmail" parameter in the POST "/admin/index.php" login endpoint. The application fails to sanitize user input and directly interpolates it into SQL queries without using prepared statements, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and extract sensitive database information.
