CVE-2020-7935 — Artica Pandora Fms security vulnerability
Artica Pandora FMS through 7.42 is vulnerable to remote PHP code execution because of an Unrestricted Upload Of A File With A Dangerous Type issue in the File Manager. An attacker can create a (or use an existing) directory that is externally accessible to store PHP files. The filename and the exact path is known by the attacker, so it is possible to execute PHP code in the context of the application. The vulnerability is exploitable only with Administrator access.

Matched remediation archetype
Path traversal, unsafe upload, and file handling
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace untrusted filenames, archive entries, URLs, and path segments into read, write, include, extraction, and upload operations.
- Identify filesystem roots, mount permissions, symbolic-link behavior, archive handling, and whether uploaded content is web-accessible or executable.
- Review canonicalization and containment checks across supported operating systems and storage backends.
Remediate safely
- Generate server-side storage identifiers and resolve paths beneath a fixed root using filesystem-aware containment checks.
- Reject absolute, parent-relative, alternate-separator, device, link, and archive entries that escape the intended root.
- Store uploads outside executable or served paths, validate type and size, and use private atomic temporary files.
