Exponent · Exponent Cms · CVE-2016-7790
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Exponent CMS version 2.3.9
**Description**
The issue concerns a remote code execution problem. It is possible for an attacker to upload a `php` file through the "uploader paste.php" script, then overwrite the "/framework/conf/config.php" file. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable endpoint is "/install/index.php".
**Recommendations**
For Exponent CMS version 2.3.9, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the "/install/index.php" endpoint and restricting access to the "uploader paste.php" script until a patch is available. Avoid using the uploader paste.php script in the affected version to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
