Papoo is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload arbitrary files because the application fails to adequately validate user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible.
