Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Exponent CMS versions 0.96.3 and later

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information because the full installation path is included in the base parameter to thumb.php. This might be the result of an absolute path traversal vulnerability.

Recommendations For Exponent CMS versions 0.96.3 and later, consider restricting access to the thumb.php file until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the base parameter in the thumb.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
