Description:
Cedric Cochin has identified two vulnerabilities in PhpGedView, allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The problem is that the "PGV_BASE_DIRECTORY" parameter isn't properly verified in certain scripts. This can be exploited by malicious to supply paths to local and external resources.
Another problem is that the "editconfig_gedcom.php" script doesn't verify input properly, allowing malicious administrative users to include arbitrary local and external files.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.65.1. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.65.2.
