CVE-2006-5031

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CakePHP versions prior to 1.1.8.3544

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter, followed by a filename ending with %00 and a .js filename. This is a directory traversal vulnerability in the app/webroot/js/vendors.php file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.1.8.3544, update to version 1.1.8.3544 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the app/webroot/js/vendors.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the file parameter with untrusted input in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
