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

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in LinPHA, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed via the "maps_type" configuration string to plugins/maps/map.main.class.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. Execution of arbitrary PHP code is also be possible if the "Changelog" file is present in the application's directory.

2) Input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.3.3. Other versions may also be affected.
