CVE-2021-26610

7.2 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2021-26610 is a remote code execution vulnerability in godomall5's file upload function that lacks proper file extension and authority validation. Attackers can upload malicious files to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. This affects all installations of godomall5 using the vulnerable move_uploaded_file function.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • godomall5
Versions: All versions prior to patched release
Operating Systems: Any OS running godomall5
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects any godomall5 installation with file upload functionality enabled.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, steal data, install malware, or pivot to other systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Webshell deployment leading to data theft, defacement, or use as a foothold for further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper file upload restrictions and web application firewalls in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications with file upload functionality are directly exposed to internet attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal users could exploit this, but attack surface is smaller than internet-facing systems.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Simple file upload bypass techniques can be used to exploit this vulnerability without authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.boho.or.kr/krcert/secNoticeView.do?bulletin_writing_sequence=36304

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check vendor advisory for patched version. 2. Backup current installation. 3. Apply vendor-provided patch. 4. Restart web server. 5. Verify fix implementation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

File Upload Restriction

all

Implement strict file type validation and extension whitelisting

# Configure web server to only allow specific file types
# Example Apache: <FilesMatch "\.(php|phtml|phar)$">
#   Deny from all
# </FilesMatch>

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Block suspicious file upload patterns

# WAF rule to block file uploads with executable extensions
# Example ModSecurity: SecRule FILES_TMPNAMES "@rx \.(php|phtml|phar|exe|bat|sh)$" "deny,status:403"

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Disable file upload functionality completely in godomall5
  • Implement network segmentation to isolate godomall5 server from critical systems

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if you can upload files with executable extensions (like .php, .phtml) through godomall5's upload interface

Check Version:

Check godomall5 version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt to upload malicious files after patch - should be rejected with proper validation errors

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual file uploads with executable extensions
  • Multiple failed upload attempts
  • Webshell access patterns in access logs

Network Indicators:

  • POST requests to upload endpoints with suspicious file names
  • Outbound connections from web server to unknown IPs

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="*upload*" OR uri="*move_uploaded*" OR method="POST") AND (filename="*.php" OR filename="*.phtml" OR filename="*.phar")
