LinPHA up to 1.3.2 Configuration File path traversal

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in LinPHA up to 1.3.2. The impacted element is an unknown function of the component Configuration File. Performing a manipulation results in path traversal. This vulnerability is reported as CVE-2008-1856. Moreover, an exploit is present.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in LinPHA up to 1.3.2. It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown processing of the component Configuration File. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

plugins/maps/db_handler.php in LinPHA 1.3.3 and earlier does not require authentication for a settings action that modifies the configuration file, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and execute arbitrary local files by placing directory traversal sequences into the maps_type configuration setting, and then sending a request to maps_view.php, which causes plugins/maps/map.main.class.php to use the modified configuration.

The weakness was disclosed 04/29/2008 by rgod (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at milw0rm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-1856 since 04/16/2008. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

A public exploit has been developed by EgiX and been published before and not just after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 9 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (41676), Exploit-DB (5392), SecurityFocus (BID 28654†), OSVDB (50229†) and Secunia (SA29724†). The entry VDB-47436 is pretty similar. Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
