ImpressCMS <= 1.4.2 (image-edit.php) Path Traversal Vulnerability
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Software Link:
https://www.impresscms.org
[-] Affected Versions:
Version 1.4.2 and prior versions.
[-] Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerability is located in the
/libraries/image-editor/image-edit.php script:
161. if (@copy ( ICMS_IMANAGER_FOLDER_PATH . '/temp/' .
$simage_temp, $categ_path . $simage->getVar ( 'image_name' ) )) {
162. if (@unlink ( ICMS_IMANAGER_FOLDER_PATH . '/temp/' .
$simage_temp )) {
163. $msg = _MD_AM_DBUPDATED;
[...]
190. } else {
191. if (copy ( ICMS_IMANAGER_FOLDER_PATH . '/temp/' .
$simage_temp, $categ_path . $imgname )) {
192. @unlink ( ICMS_IMANAGER_FOLDER_PATH . '/temp/' .
$simage_temp );
193. }
User input passed through the "image_temp" parameter is not properly
sanitized before being used in a call to the unlink() function at lines
162 and 192. This can be exploited by authenticated attackers to carry
out Path Traversal attacks and delete arbitrary files in the context of
the web server process. This vulnerability could be exploited also to
disclose the content of arbitrary files in case the web server allows
for directory listing.
[-] Solution:
Upgrade to version 1.4.3 or later.
