CVE-2019-9060 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in CMS Made Simple 2.2.8. It is possible to achieve unauthenticated path traversal in the CGExtensions module (in the file action.setdefaulttemplate.php) with the m1_filename parameter; and through the action.showmessage.php file, it is possible to read arbitrary file content (by using that path traversal with m1_prefname set to cg_errormsg and m1_resettodefault=1).. EPSS estimates a 1.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
