CVE-2026-48945

Summary

The K2 article gallery upload path accepts a zip/tar archive, extracts it under /media/k2/galleries/<id>/, and only renames image files (gif/jpg/jpeg/png/webp) to safe names — non-image files (including .php) are extracted as-is and remain executable via direct HTTP access.
