Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions eLabFTW version 1.8.5

Description The issue allows for arbitrary file uploads via the /app/controllers/EntityController.php component, potentially resulting in remote command execution.

Recommendations For eLabFTW version 1.8.5, consider restricting access to the EntityController.php component as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Avoid using the vulnerable component to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
