Title: phpMyChat Connected_Users.Lib.PHP3 Local File Include Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

phpMyChat is a multi-room chat application implemented in PHP.

The application is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input of URL-encoded directory-traversal sequences ('../') to the 'ChatPath' parameter of the 'connected_users_lib.php3' script.

A successful exploit may allow an unauthorized user to view files and to execute local scripts.

This issue affects phpMyChat 0.1; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • phpHeaven phpMyChat 0.1
  • phpHeaven phpMyChat 0.14.5
