Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in the Ajaxmanager File and Database explorer (ajaxmanager) module from RSI for PrestaShop
An “Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type” vulnerability exists in the Ajaxmanager File and Database explorer (ajaxmanager) module, from RSI, for PrestaShop, in all versions (including the latest version 2.3.0). This allows remote attackers to upload dangerous files without restriction.
In the Ajaxmanager File and Database explorer (ajaxmanager) module for PrestaShop, remote attackers can access a file explorer without being logged in, enabling upload view and deletion of files. The file explorer tool is also providing access to a shell console, port scan and server information. Disabling or uninstalling the module does not remove access to the tool. The issue is not fixed in the latest version.
It should be noted that the module provides users the ability to set a password to restrict access to the tool. However, the password is giving no protection. A bug allows users to access the file explorer without having to provide the password.
This vulnerability has been successfully reproduced in versions 2.1.0, 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 (the last version to date). We believe that the issue also existed in previous versions.
WARNING: Disabling or uninstalling the module will not stop the vulnerability from being exploited. You must delete it completely.
Be warned that other modules from this creator are actively scanned, and this one will probably be exploited soon.
