CVSS v2.0
6.4
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP versions prior to 5.3.9
Description
The issue is related to improper security settings in the libxslt library of the PHP interpreter, which is associated with privilege management errors. This allows a remote attacker to create arbitrary files via a crafted XSLT stylesheet that uses the libxslt output extension.
Recommendations
For PHP versions prior to 5.3.9, update to version 5.3.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the libxslt output extension in XSLT stylesheets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
