CMME env parameter file include

cmme-env-file-include (44683) The risk level is classified as MediumMedium Risk

Description:

CMME could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the index.php script using the env parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.

Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.


Consequences:

Gain Access
