Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Project Pier versions 0.8.8 and earlier

Description: Project Pier is susceptible to an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload issue in the tools/upload file.php script. The upload process does not validate file types or require authentication, enabling remote attackers to upload malicious PHP files to a web-accessible directory. These uploaded files, stored with a predictable suffix, can be executed via a URL request, leading to remote code execution.

Recommendations: Project Pier versions prior to 0.8.8 are affected. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
