E Vision · E-Vision Cms · CVE-2008-6551
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
e-Vision CMS versions 2.0.2 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in specific parameters. This can be achieved by manipulating the `adminlang` cookie to `admin/ind ex.php` or the `module` parameter to various PHP files in the `adminpart` directory of different modules, such as `add3rdparty.php`, `addpolling.php`, `addcontact.php`, `addbrandnews.php`, `addnewsletter.php`, `addgame.php`, `addtour.php`, `addarticles.php`, `addproduct.php`, or `addplain.php`. The vulnerability is particularly exploitable when `magic quotes gpc` is disabled.
**Recommendations**
For e-Vision CMS versions 2.0.2 and earlier, consider disabling the execution of arbitrary local files until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable PHP files in the `adminpart` directory of different modules to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `module` parameter in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. As a temporary workaround, enable `magic quotes gpc` to prevent the exploitation of the directory traversal vulnerability.
