Redaxo has a Mediapool isAllowedExtension bypass via multi-segment filename that leads to authenticated RCE on Apache mod_php multi-extension handlers

Published Jul 31, 2026 · Updated Jul 31, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

REDAXO is a PHP-based content management system. From 5.18.2 until 5.21.1, rex_mediapool::isAllowedExtension in redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/lib/mediapool.php lets an authenticated backend user with media[upload] permission upload a JPEG/PHP polyglot named shell.php.any.jpg, which web servers with multi-extension PHP handlers can execute as the web-server user. This issue is fixed in version 5.21.1.
