Emlog · Emlog · CVE-2019-17073
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
emlog versions prior to 6.0.0beta
**Description**
The issue allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files. This is achieved through a directory traversal vulnerability in the "admin/template.php" endpoint, specifically when the "action" parameter is set to "del" and the "tpl" parameter is manipulated to traverse directories.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.0.0beta, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "admin/template.php" endpoint, specifically the "del" action, to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, avoid using the "tpl" parameter with untrusted input until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
