STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2026-34413. Includes Metasploit module exploits/multi/http/xerte_unauthenticated_mediaupload. A Nuclei detection template is also available.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Xerte Online Toolkits by bypassing authentication, extension blacklists, and path traversal restrictions to upload and execute a PHP shell.

Description

Xerte Online Toolkits versions 3.15 and earlier contain a missing authentication vulnerability in the elFinder connector endpoint at /editor/elfinder/php/connector.php where an HTTP redirect to unauthenticated callers does not call exit() or die(), allowing PHP execution to continue and process the full request server-side. Unauthenticated attackers can perform file operations on project media directories including creating directories, uploading files, renaming files, duplicating files, overwriting files, and deleting files, which can be chained with path traversal and extension blocklist vulnerabilities to achieve remote code execution and arbitrary file read.
