Title: Bharat Mediratta Gallery Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Bharat Mediratta Gallery is a free, open source web-based photo album which may be used as an add-on for the PHPNuke web portal.

Due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, it may be possible for a remote attacker to view arbitrary web-readable files.

A user who makes a specially crafted web request which contains '../' sequences is able to break out of wwwroot and browse any files which are readable by the webserver process.

This issue may allow a remote attacker to gather sensitive information which may be used in directed and organized attacks against a host running the Gallery software.

Affected Products:

  • Bharat Mediratta Gallery 1.1.0
  • Bharat Mediratta Gallery 1.2.0
  • Bharat Mediratta Gallery 1.2.1
