Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in Emlog Pro versions 2.6.13 and earlier due to improper validation of the 'template' parameter in the article publishing interface. The 'api_controller.php' script fails to sanitize path traversal sequences (../) before storing the template path in the database. When the article is subsequently viewed, 'log_controller.php' retrieves this path and passes it to 'View::getView()', which performs a direct PHP 'include'. An authenticated attacker with author privileges can exploit this to execute arbitrary PHP code, provided they have a method to upload a malicious file elsewhere on the server. No official patch has been identified at the time of this advisory.
