Description

plugins/maps/db_handler.php in LinPHA 1.3.3 and earlier does not require authentication for a settings action that modifies the configuration file, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and execute arbitrary local files by placing directory traversal sequences into the maps_type configuration setting, and then sending a request to maps_view.php, which causes plugins/maps/map.main.class.php to use the modified configuration.

Weakness classification

  • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
  • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
