Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apptha Slider Gallery version 1.0
Description An issue allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files by manipulating the imgname parameter. This is achieved by sending requests to the 'asgallDownload.php' endpoint using directory traversal sequences (../), which enables access to sensitive files located outside the intended directory. Path traversal is a technique used to access files and directories that are stored outside the web root folder.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
