Server-file disclosure via unrestricted theme path
Published Oct 14, 2022 · Updated May 14, 2025
Path traversal in admin/theme.php in WeBid 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files. The handler appends the unrestricted theme parameter and attacker-chosen file name to theme_root, then reads the resulting path with file_get_contents. The published request requires an administrative PHP session and CSRF token; disclosed impact is limited to files readable by the web service.
