Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Exero Exero CMS 1.0.1 (Content Management System). This affects an unknown code of the file index.php. The manipulation of the argument theme with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.
