Description
The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the
file parameter to the "libs/pdf.php" endpoint.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "libs/pdf.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
file parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
