Title: PHPDocumentor Remote and Local File Include Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

phpDocumentor is a Web based application that is used to create professional documentation from php source code.

phpDocumentor is affected by remote and local file include vulnerabilities. These issues arise due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data.

The 'FORUM[]' parameter of the 'bug-559668.php' script can facilitate remote and local file include attacks. An attacker can supply the path to a remote script through this variable, or use directory traversal sequences and a local script on the server to execute script code. The 'root_dir' parameter of the 'file_dialog.php' script may be used to carry out remote file include attacks as well.

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

phpDocumentor 1.3.0 RC4 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

Affected Products:

  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.2.0
  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.2.1
  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.2.2
  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.2.3
  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.3.0 RC3
  • phpDocumentor phpDocumentor 1.3.0 RC4
