Title: PPA ppa_root_path File Include Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

PPA is a photo album application written in PHP.

PPA is susceptible to a remote file include vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Input passed to the 'ppa_root_path' parameter in the 'inc/functions.inc.php' script is not sufficiently sanitized. An attacker could host arbitrary malicious code in a file at an attacker-controlled site and include the file using the 'ppa_root_path' variable path.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary server-side script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the Web server process. This may facilitate unauthorized access.

Affected Products:

  • PPA PPA 0.5.6
