Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Visualshapers ezContents 2.0.3. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects the function str_replace of the file module.php. The manipulation of the argument link 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, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

module.php in ezContents 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the directory traversal protection mechanism to include and execute arbitrary local files via "....//" (doubled dot dot slash) sequences in the link parameter, which is not properly filtered using the str_replace function.

The weakness was published 08/24/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2008-7055 since 08/24/2009. The exploitation is known to be difficult. 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 by DSecRG and been published even before and not after the advisory. The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 364 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. By approaching the search of inurl:module.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.
