XOOPS Module Uploader 1.1 – Local File Inclusion
XOOPS Module Uploader 1.1 is vulnerable to a local file inclusion vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to include local files on the server. This can be done by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable application. The attacker can include local files on the server by using the 'filename' parameter in the 'downloadfile' action. For example, an attacker can send a request to the vulnerable application as http://localhost/modules/uploader/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd to include the '/etc/passwd' file on the server.
Mitigation:
The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the application.
