Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GForge 3.1/3.2/3.3/3.21 (Project Management Software). It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the file controller.php. The manipulation of the argument dir_name with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in GForge 3.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) dir parameter to controller.php or (2) dir_name parameter to controlleroo.php.
