Path Traversal
## Summary: 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 to carry out Path Traversal attacks and delete arbitrary files in the context of the web server process. **NOTE**: before being deleted, the file will be copied into the `/uploads/imagemanager/logos/` directory. As such, by firstly deleting the `index.html` file in that directory, it might be possible to disclose the content of arbitrary files in case the web server allows for directory listing. ## ImpressCMS branch : The vulnerability has been tested and confirmed on ImpressCMS version 1.4.2 (the latest at the time of writing). ## Steps To Reproduce: 1. Login into the application as any user (this should work both for Webmasters and Registered Users) 1. Go to: `http://[impresscms]/libraries/image-editor/image-edit.php?op=save&image_id=1&image_temp=../../../mainfile.php` 1. The `mainfile.php` script will be deleted, rendering the website unusable ## Impact This vulnerability might allow authenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition or destruction of users data.
