Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2008-2742. PoCs published by EgiX.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a file upload vulnerability in Achievo <= 1.3.2 via the FCKeditor component. It bypasses extension checks by appending multiple extensions (e.g., .php.zip) to upload a malicious PHP shell, enabling remote command execution.

Description

Unrestricted file upload in the mcpuk file editor (atk/attributes/fck/editor/filemanager/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/config.php) in Achievo 1.2.0 through 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with .php followed by a safe extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in the Achievo root directory. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability in environments that support multiple extensions, such as Apache with the mod_mime module enabled.
