Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in MODX Revolution 2.0.2 (Content Management System). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file manager/controllers/default/resource/tvs.php. The manipulation of the argument class_key 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. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in manager/controllers/default/resource/tvs.php in MODx Revolution 2.0.2-pl, and possibly earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the class_key parameter. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The weakness was presented 09/28/2010. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2010-5278. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

After immediately, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as highly functional. By approaching the search of inurl:manager/controllers/default/resource/tvs.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.
