Authenticated file disclosure via encoded path traversal
Published Nov 14, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Path traversal in EasyPHP Webserver 14.1 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through crafted URL paths. The root request path accepts repeated /..%5c segments and resolves them beyond the document root instead of enforcing SecurityManager restrictions. Low-privileged access is required, and successful requests expose files readable by the service account without altering data or interrupting service.
