Overview

Dnn.Platform is an Open Source Web Application Framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. For normal users, extra extension validation is performed at client-side only. Hence, a low privileged normal user can bypass the client-side validation and upload files with extensions which are allowed only for superuser only.
