Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Francois Bissonnette phpCDB 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file firstvisit.php. The manipulation of the argument lang_global with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in phpCDB 1.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the lang_global parameter to (1) firstvisit.php, (2) newfolder.php, (3) showfolders.php, (4) newlang.php, (5) showinnerfolder.php, (6) writecode.php, and (7) showcode.php.
