Severity: medium (CVSS 5.1 v2.0)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 2.7% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: yes
Published: 2008-04-16 · updated 2026-06-16
Weakness: CWE-20

Description

plugins/maps/db_handler.php in LinPHA 1.3.3 and earlier does not require authentication for a settings action that modifies the configuration file, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and execute arbitrary local files by placing directory traversal sequences into the maps_type configuration setting, and then sending a request to maps_view.php, which causes plugins/maps/map.main.class.php to use the modified configuration.

Affected products

Linpha: 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 1.0-beta1 (+9)
