CVE-2020-10567
An issue was discovered in Responsive Filemanager through 9.14.0. In the ajax_calls.php file in the save_img action in the name parameter, there is no validation of what kind of extension is sent. This makes it possible to execute PHP code if a legitimate JPEG image contains this code in the EXIF data, and the .php extension is used in the name parameter. (A potential fast patch is to disable the save_img action in the config file.)
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 9.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 20%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 97
- Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.

En el archivo ajax_calls.php en la acción save_img en el parámetro name, no existe una comprobación de qué tipo de extensión se envía. Esto hace posible ejecutar código PHP si una imagen JPEG legítima contiene este código en los datos EXIF, y la extensión .php es usada en el parámetro name. (Un posible parche rápido es deshabilitar la acción save_img en el archivo de configuración)."
