Reason of This Vulnerability

$_FILES['file']['name'] in the Upload file module does not check whether the file extension is case,Vulnerability file：/plugins/box/filesmanager/filesmanager.admin.php

        // Upload file
        // -------------------------------------
        if (Request::post('upload_file')) {

            if (Security::check(Request::post('csrf'))) {

                $error = false;
                if ($_FILES['file']) {
                    if ( ! in_array(File::ext($_FILES['file']['name']), $forbidden_types)) {
                        $filepath = $files_path.Security::safeName(basename($_FILES['file']['name'], File::ext($_FILES['file']['name'])), null, false).'.'.File::ext($_FILES['file']['name']);
                        $uploaded = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $filepath);
                        if ($uploaded !== false && is_file($filepath)) {
                            Notification::set('success', __('File was uploaded', 'filesmanager'));
                        } else {
                            $error = 'File was not uploaded';
                        }
                    } else {
                        $error = 'Forbidden file type';
                    }
                } else {
                    $error = 'File was not uploaded';
                }

                if ($error) {
                    Notification::set('error', __($error, 'filesmanager'));
                }

                if (Request::post('dragndrop')) {
                    Request::shutdown();
                } else {
                    Request::redirect($site_url.'/admin/index.php?id=filesmanager&path='.$path);
                }
            } else { die('Request was denied because it contained an invalid security token. Please refresh the page and try again.'); }
        }

Repair suggestions

Add case verification at $_FILES['file']['name'], as follows:

        // Upload file
        // -------------------------------------
        if (Request::post('upload_file')) {

            if (Security::check(Request::post('csrf'))) {

                $error = false;
                if ($_FILES['file']) {
					$_FILES['file']['name']=strtolower($_FILES['file']['name']);  //Change uppercase to lowercase
                    if ( ! in_array(File::ext($_FILES['file']['name']), $forbidden_types)) {
                        $filepath = $files_path.Security::safeName(basename($_FILES['file']['name'], File::ext($_FILES['file']['name'])), null, false).'.'.File::ext($_FILES['file']['name']);
                        $uploaded = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $filepath);
                        if ($uploaded !== false && is_file($filepath)) {
                            Notification::set('success', __('File was uploaded', 'filesmanager'));
                        } else {
                            $error = 'File was not uploaded';
                        }
                    } else {
                        $error = 'Forbidden file type';
                    }
                } else {
                    $error = 'File was not uploaded';
                }

                if ($error) {
                    Notification::set('error', __($error, 'filesmanager'));
                }

                if (Request::post('dragndrop')) {
                    Request::shutdown();
                } else {
                    Request::redirect($site_url.'/admin/index.php?id=filesmanager&path='.$path);
                }
            } else { die('Request was denied because it contained an invalid security token. Please refresh the page and try again.'); }
        }
