An unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Cockpit CMS 2.6.0 allows authenticated users to upload files of any extension including PHP scripts via the asset upload endpoint. The allowed_uploads configuration defaults to wildcard (*) and uploaded files are stored in a web-accessible directory. An attacker with any authenticated account can upload a PHP webshell and execute arbitrary OS commands on the server.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
