CVE-2026-64966
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
ATutor is vulnerable to a Path Traversal vulnerability in ZIP extraction functionality. An attacker with instructor privileges can upload and extract a specially crafted ZIP archive, causing files to be written outside the intended extraction directory. This allows an attacker to place a server-executable .phtml file in the web root and achieve remote code execution with web server privileges on the underlying server. Product is no longer actively supported and the vulnerabilities have not been fixed. Only version 2.2.4 was tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested but might also be vulnerable.

"value": "ATutor es vulnerable a una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta en la funcionalidad de extracción de ZIP. Un atacante con privilegios de instructor puede cargar y extraer un archivo ZIP especialmente diseñado, haciendo que los archivos se escriban fuera del directorio de extracción previsto. Esto permite a un atacante colocar un archivo .phtml ejecutable por el servidor en la raíz web y lograr la ejecución remota de código con privilegios de servidor web en el servidor subyacente.\n\nEl producto ya no recibe soporte activo y las vulnerabilidades no han sido corregidas. Solo la versión 2.2.4 fue probada y confirmada como vulnerable, otras versiones no fueron probadas pero también podrían ser vulnerables."
