Cmscout · Cmscout · CVE-2008-3415
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
CMScout version 2.05
**Description**
A directory traversal issue exists in common.php, allowing remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the `bit` parameter. This can be exploited by uploading a malicious file, such as a .jpg file containing PHP sequences, to the avatar/ directory.
**Recommendations**
For CMScout version 2.05, consider restricting access to the `common.php` file and the `avatar/` directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `bit` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
