Remote File Include Vulnerability in Downstat 1.8
A remote file include vulnerability was found in Downstat 1.8, a web-based download counter. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'art' parameter in the 'chart.php', 'modes.php' and 'stats.php' scripts. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP code on the vulnerable system by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing a malicious URL in the 'art' parameter. This can be used to gain access to the vulnerable system and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server process.
Mitigation:
The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade to Downstat 1.8.1 or later.
