Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pro Chat Rooms version 3.0.2

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to exploit a directory traversal vulnerability by selecting an arbitrary local PHP script as an avatar. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the avatar parameter. The vulnerability can be further exploited by using the "sendData.php" endpoint to send a message to either an individual user or a room, potentially leading to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) or cross-site scripting (XSS) impacts.

Recommendations For Pro Chat Rooms version 3.0.2, consider restricting access to the avatar parameter and the "sendData.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the avatar parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
