Xcms · Xcms · CVE-2007-6604
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
XCMS versions 1.82 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via directory traversal vulnerabilities in index.php. This can be achieved by including a .. (dot dot) in the `s` parameter to the admin page or the `pg` parameter to an arbitrary module. Attackers can exploit this to read sensitive data, such as password hashes in .dtb files, or execute embedded PHP code in images.
**Recommendations**
For XCMS versions 1.82 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin page and arbitrary modules to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `s` and `pg` parameters in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
