Title: | PHPMailer < 5.2.22 Local Information Disclosure Vulnerability |
Summary: | PHPMailer is prone to a local information disclosure vulnerability. |
Description: | Summary: PHPMailer is prone to a local information disclosure vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw exists because PHPMailer's msgHTML method applies transformations to an HTML document to make it usable as an email message body. One of the transformations is to convert relative image URLs into attachments using a script-provided base directory. If no base directory is provided, it resolves to /, meaning that relative image URLs get treated as absolute local file paths and added as attachments. To form a remote vulnerability, the msgHTML method must be called, passed an unfiltered, user-supplied HTML document, and must not set a base directory. Vulnerability Impact: Attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may aid in launching further attacks. Affected Software/OS: PHPMailer versions 5.0.0 through 5.2.20 are vulnerable. Solution: Upgrade to PHPMailer 5.2.22 or later. CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
