Glossword is a system written in PHP to create and publish online multilingual dictionary, glossary, or encyclopedia. A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability was discovered in all versions of Glossword 1.8.11 and higher. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal characters (e.g. “../”) to the vulnerable web server. This can allow the attacker to view sensitive files on the web server, such as the /etc/passwd file.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Glossword and ensure that all user input is properly sanitized.
