Acs · Advanced Comment System · CVE-2020-35598
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ACS Advanced Comment System version 1.0
**Description**
The issue allows Directory Traversal via the `advanced component system/index.php` API endpoint, specifically through the `ACS path` variable. This can be exploited by manipulating the `ACS path` variable with a URI such as `..%2f`.
**Recommendations**
For ACS Advanced Comment System version 1.0, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `advanced component system/index.php` API endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using the `ACS path` variable in this endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
