Description

Quick & Dirty PHP Source Printer contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to access arbitrary files outside of the web path. The issue is due to the source.php script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically traversal style attacks (../../) supplied via the 'file' variable.

Classification

Location: Remote/Network Access Required
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Confidentiality
Exploit: Exploit Available

Technical

Original directory traversal attack filtering was replacing "../" with "", which caused malicious user input ".../...//" to become "../", thus leading the directory traversal attack to succeed.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.1.1 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
