HTTP PUT method is enabled
Summary: PortSwigger Research describes the HTTP PUT method, normally used to upload data saved on the server at a user-supplied URL, as a vulnerability when it is enabled. If enabled, an attacker may be able to place arbitrary, and potentially malicious, content into the application, which depending on the server's configuration may lead to compromise of other users through uploaded client-executable scripts or compromise of the server through uploaded server-executable code.
What you should know: An enabled PUT method lets an attacker write files to your server at a URL they choose, and the source notes that depending on configuration this can escalate to compromise of other users or of the server itself.
