Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was identified in ProudMuBai GoFilm 1.0.0/1.0.1. Impacted is the function SingleUpload of the file /server/controller/FileController.go. The manipulation of the argument File leads to unrestricted upload. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the SingleUpload function of FileController.go in ProudMuBai GoFilm versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. An attacker can upload arbitrary files to the server without proper validation of file type, content, or extension, potentially leading to remote code execution if uploaded files are accessible and executable.

MitigationImplement strict server-side file validation including magic byte verification, allowlist-based extension checking, filename sanitization, and store uploads outside the web root with script execution disabled. Consider deploying a WAF as an interim control.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify GoFilm installation version
    Locate the GoFilm application binary or source code and check its version identifier. Common locations: the binary name, a version file, or the main executable's metadata.
    Affected if Version is 1.0.0 or 1.0.1
  2. Locate FileController.go source file
    Search the application source tree for FileController.go containing the SingleUpload function. Inspect the function code to confirm it lacks file type, content, or extension validation.
    Affected if SingleUpload function exists and contains no file validation logic
  3. Verify upload endpoint is exposed
    Check the application's routing configuration to confirm the file upload endpoint (typically /upload or similar) is accessible without authentication or with weak auth.
    Affected if Upload endpoint is publicly accessible or accessible to untrusted users
  4. Inspect web server upload configuration
    Review the web server configuration (nginx, Apache, or embedded) handling file upload requests. Check if it enforces any Content-Type or extension restrictions.
    Affected if Web server applies no additional upload restrictions beyond the application
  5. Check uploaded file storage location
    Identify where uploaded files are stored. Inspect configuration to determine if files are stored within or outside the web root.
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored inside the web root and can be accessed via URL

Environment is affected if running GoFilm version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 with the SingleUpload endpoint exposed and files stored within web-accessible directory.
