Unauthenticated file read via unsanitized path parameter
Published Aug 19, 2025 · Updated Aug 19, 2025
Path traversal in EzGED3 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files through its unauthenticated web interface. The showparaphdocs.php script passes the path parameter directly to readfile() and skips authentication when token or sessionid is absent. No credentials are required, and exposed files can reveal configuration, database contents, source code, and password-reset tokens.
