Description:
A vulnerability and a security issue have been discovered in PHP Advanced Transfer Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and conduct script insertion attacks.
1) The problem is that HTML documents are allowed to be uploaded to a location inside the web root. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious HTML document is viewed.
2) The problem is that user credentials are stored insecurely in the "users" directory inside the web root. This can be exploited to disclose the administrator's encrypted password.
The vulnerability and the security issue have been confirmed in version 1.30. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the "rejectedfiles" variable in the configuration file "include/conf.php" to disallow HTML documents and move the "users" directory out of the web root.
