Descriptions

There is insufficient sanitization of tainted file names that are directly concatenated with a path that is subsequently passed to a ‘require_once’ statement. This allows arbitrary files with the ‘.php’ extension for which the absolute path is known to be included and executed. There are no known means in PHPFusion through which an attacker can upload and target a ‘.php’ file payload.

La limpieza de nombres de archivo contaminados que se concatenan directamente con una ruta que posteriormente se pasa a una sentencia 'require_once' es insuficiente. Esto permite que se incluyan y ejecuten archivos arbitrarios con la extensión '.php' cuya ruta absoluta se conoce. No hay medios conocidos en PHPFusion a través de los cuales un atacante pueda cargar y apuntar a una carga útil de archivo '.php'.
