Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Georges Auberger pajax 0.5.1. This issue affects an unknown code block of the file pajax_call_dispatcher.php. The manipulation of the argument classname with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in pajax_call_dispatcher.php in PAJAX 0.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the $className variable.

The bug was discovered 03/30/2006. The weakness was disclosed 04/14/2006 by RedTeam Pentesting (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2006-1789 since 04/13/2006. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed in Perl Module and been published even before and not after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 14 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.
