Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: TalkBack versions 2.3.6 through 2.3.6.4

Description: A directory traversal issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the language parameter to the "comments.php" endpoint.

Recommendations: For versions 2.3.6 through 2.3.6.4, consider restricting access to the "comments.php" endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the language parameter in the "comments.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
