Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in bitweaver, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data.

Note: Malicious users can inject e.g. Smarty template code into the created file, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6. Other versions may also be affected.
