## Description

An issue was discovered in CKFinder through 2.6.2.1. Improper checks of file names allows remote attackers to upload files without any extension (even if the application was configured to accept files only with a defined set of extensions). This affects CKFinder for ASP, CKFinder for ASP.NET, CKFinder for ColdFusion, and CKFinder for PHP.
