CVE-2018-10827
CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
LiteCart versions prior to 2.1.2
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically memory consumption, by sending requests for URIs that do not exist. This is because the
not found.log file in the public html/logs directory grows without bound as it logs each non-existent URI request, and this log file is loaded into memory for each request.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.1.2, update to version 2.1.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
not found.log file or implementing a log rotation mechanism to prevent the file from growing without bound.Fix
