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

Description:
James Bercegay has reported a vulnerability in CakePHP, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "file" parameter in js/vendors.php isn't properly sanitised before being used in a "readfile()" call. This can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.

Example:
http://[host]/js/vendors.php?file=../../../../[file]%00foobar.js

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.1.7.3363. Prior versions may also be affected.
