**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**

**Description**
A vulnerability was discovered in FreePBX, allowing high-privilege administrators to insert unwanted files due to a lack of verification of the type of uploaded files. This issue can be exploited for remote code execution. The vulnerability requires authentication, which may lower its priority, but it still needs to be addressed.
