CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

CodeIgniter versions prior to 4.7.4 are vulnerable to a path traversal attack due to improper handling of client-provided filenames in the UploadedFile::move() method. This flaw allows remote attackers to write uploaded content outside the intended directory, potentially compromising the server's file system. Organizations using affected versions of CodeIgniter should prioritize upgrading to version 4.7.4 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. Prior to 4.7.4, calling UploadedFile::move() without a second argument uses the client-provided filename without sanitization, allowing a remote attacker to use path traversal sequences to write uploaded content outside the intended directory when the application exposes an upload path. This issue is fixed in version 4.7.4.
