Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MODX Revolution versions 2.8.3-pl and earlier

Description The issue allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary code by uploading an executable file. This is possible because the Uploadable File Types setting can be changed by an administrator, allowing for the upload of malicious files.

Recommendations For MODX Revolution versions 2.8.3-pl and earlier, update to a version that fixes this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the Uploadable File Types setting to prevent administrators from uploading executable files. Additionally, restrict access to the file upload feature to minimize the risk of exploitation.
