Last modified

CVE-2008-1856 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
