Title: RETIRED: Gallery 'modules.php' Local File Include Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Gallery is a PHP-based image gallery application.

The application is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'phpEx' parameter of the '/contrib/phpBB2/modules.php' script.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to view local files within the context of the webserver process. Information harvested may aid in further attacks.

Versions prior to Gallery 1.5.8 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 30563 (Gallery Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own BID to better track the issue.

RETIRED: This BID is being retired because further analysis reveals that Gallery is not affected by this issue.

Affected Products:

  • Gallery Gallery 1.5.7
  • Gallery Gallery 1.6-alpha3
