CVE-2025-10353 POC - File Upload RCE 🛠️

POC for CVE-2025-10353: A file-upload vulnerability in the melis-cms-slider module of Melis Platform that can lead to remote code execution (RCE) when an attacker uploads a malicious file via the mcsdetail_img parameter to:

/melis/MelisCmsSlider/MelisCmsSliderDetails/saveDetailsForm

🚀 Description

This PoC demonstrates a file upload → RCE chain in the melis-cms-slider module. The vulnerable endpoint accepts multipart form uploads via the mcsdetail_img field but fails to properly validate, sanitize, or restrict the uploaded content. Under certain configurations, the uploaded file is stored in a web-accessible directory where it can be executed, resulting in remote code execution.

Additionally, the parameter mcsdetail_mcslider_id controls which slider subdirectory the uploaded web shell will be placed in. The application begins numbering slider directories from 1, so setting this parameter to 0 causes the file to be stored in a hidden directory that is not visible through the standard web interface.

Impact includes:

• Remote execution of arbitrary code on the web application host.
• Complete compromise of web application and potential lateral movement.
• Data exfiltration, tampering or destruction.

🛠️ Requirements

• Burp Suite (recommended) or equivalent HTTP proxy that supports raw request replay.
• CLI tools for safe triage (curl, wget, nc) — only for authorized tests.
• Access to the PoC file CVE-2025-10353-POC.txt (raw HTTP request exported from Burp).
• Explicit written authorization to test the target system.

Important: Do not run exploit or payloads against production/third-party systems. Use isolated testbeds or VM snapshots.

🧪 Usage

Basic check (Burp Repeater)

1. Open Burp → Repeater.
2. Open CVE-2025-10353-POC.txt, copy the raw HTTP request.
3. Paste into a new Repeater tab, set the proper host and press Send.
4. Check response for route of the uploaded file.
5. Attempt to access the endpoint provided. Example:

http://vulnerable-host.com/media/sliders/0/shell.php
