AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

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.
