How to fix

  • Fixed in: <UNKNOWN>

Implement an allowlist of valid page names in index.php and use exit() immediately after the authentication redirect header() to prevent script execution for unauthenticated users. Disable allow_url_include in PHP configuration to prevent remote code inclusion attacks.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated local file inclusion (LFI) in index.php where user-controlled GET parameter 'page' is directly included via include statement without sanitization or allowlisting. The authentication check uses header() redirect without exit(), allowing unauthenticated users to reach the vulnerable include. Attackers can leverage php://filter wrappers to read arbitrary local files or traverse directories, and execute PHP code if upload or remote inclusion is possible.
