CVE-2014-8939Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Full-path disclosure via directly requested Smarty modifier

Published Jun 1, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Information disclosure in Lexiglot through 2014-11-20 allows remote attackers to obtain the application's full filesystem path. Lexiglot exposes include/smarty/plugins/modifier.date_format.php to direct requests, and PHP warning output reveals the server-side path. No authentication or user interaction is required, but disclosure depends on a non-recommended PHP configuration that returns warnings to remote clients.
