Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Springsignage Xibo 1.2.0/1.2.1/1.2.2/1.4.0/1.4.1. This affects some unknown processing of the file index.php. 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. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Spring Signage Xibo 1.2.x before 1.2.3 and 1.4.x before 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the p parameter to index.php.
