CVE-2023-7098Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via hide.php path traversal

Published Dec 25, 2023 · Updated Aug 26, 2024

Path traversal in icret EasyImages2.0 2.8.3 allows remote authenticated users to read server files through the app/hide.php key parameter. The endpoint decodes the supplied key into a filesystem path and serves the result without rejecting traversal outside the image directory. Low-privilege access is required, and successful exploitation discloses readable files without modifying or interrupting the service.
