path my_profile.php↗

path uploads/↗

• → Monitor for unexpected file types (e.g., .php, .jsp, .asp webshells) uploaded via POST requests to my_profile.php or view/teacher_profile2.php by authenticated student or teacher roles. ↗
• → Alert on HTTP GET/POST requests accessing files under the /uploads/ directory that have executable extensions (e.g., .php), which may indicate post-exploitation webshell access. ↗
• → my_profile.php in Ingenious School Management System 2.3.0 is the vulnerable endpoint; flag any multipart/form-data file upload requests to this endpoint. ↗

• · The exploit path uses [PATH] as a placeholder; the actual installation subdirectory will vary per deployment. Detections should use wildcard/regex matching for the path prefix. ↗
• · The uploaded filename is not fixed ([FILE] placeholder); defenders cannot rely on a static filename IOC and must instead monitor the uploads/ directory for newly created executable-extension files. ↗
