Published Jun 29, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

FrontAccounting before 2.4.20 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the attachment upload handler that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading files with traversal sequences in the unique_name parameter. Attackers can supply path traversal sequences ../../../shell.php to write files outside the intended attachments directory into the web root, and by uploading PHP files without extension validation, achieve remote code execution as the web server user.
