Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Jacks FormMail.php, potentially allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system and disclose sensitive information.

1) The problem is that filenames aren't properly verified and that the only "security" check is based on the "Referer:" header. This can be exploited to upload files to arbitrary directories by inserting fake information in the header and then constructing a malicious filename including the classic "../" directory traversal character sequence.

2) Input passed to the "ar_file" parameter is not properly verified before being used to embed files in mails. This can be exploited to disclose arbitrary files outside the web root via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 5.0. Other versions may also be affected.
