Description

OpenX contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to access/view files outside of the web path. The issue is due to the script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (../../) supplied via the 'MAX_type' parameter.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Third-Party Solution
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: Vendor Verified
OSVDB: Web Related

Technical

A poison null byte (%00) is needed on the end of the filename, as ".delivery.php" is appended by the script, since it is trying to include an advert delivery script.

Solution

Upgrade to version 2.4.10 or 2.6.4 or higher, as they have been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.

Products

OpenX

2.6.3
