🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if running Newbee-Mall v1.0.0 and test file upload at /admin/goods/edit with admin credentialsCheck Version:
Check package.json or version files in the Newbee-Mall installation directoryVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt to upload a file with dangerous extension (e.g., .php) to /admin/goods/edit - should be rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file uploads to /admin/goods/edit
- Files with executable extensions in upload directories
- Multiple failed upload attempts
Network Indicators:
- POST requests to /admin/goods/edit with file uploads
- Subsequent requests to uploaded files with executable extensions
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (uri="/admin/goods/edit" AND method="POST" AND file_upload="true")
