Official Description

Roxy Fileman 1.4.6 allows Remote Code Execution via a .phar upload, because the default FORBIDDEN_UPLOADS value in conf.json only blocks .php, .php4, and .php5 files. (Visiting any .phar file invokes the PHP interpreter in some realistic web-server configurations.)

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious .phar file to the server. If the web server is configured to interpret .phar files as PHP, the uploaded file can execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to a full system compromise.
