Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
QuickTalk forum version 1.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) sequence in the
lang parameter to specific API endpoints, such as "/qtf checkname.php", "/qtf j birth.php", or "/qtf j exists.php".Recommendations
For QuickTalk forum version 1.3, consider restricting access to the
lang parameter in the affected API endpoints until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, disabling the execution of files from arbitrary locations may help mitigate the risk.Exploit
