Element It · Element-It Ultimate Uploader · CVE-2009-4817
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Element-IT Ultimate Uploader version 1.3
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension to the upload/ directory, and then accessing it via a direct request. This is due to an unrestricted file upload vulnerability.
**Recommendations**
For Element-IT Ultimate Uploader version 1.3, consider restricting file uploads to only allow non-executable file extensions as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the upload/ directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
