The vulnerability is caused due to the document upload feature failing to validate the extension of an uploaded file. This can be exploited to e.g. upload and execute arbitrary PHP files passing an allowed MIME media type in the HTTP headers. Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.8.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict access to trusted users only.
