TITLE:
Weatimages "path" Directory Traversal Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38075

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38075/

DESCRIPTION:
e.wiZz! has discovered a vulnerability in Weatimages, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "path" parameter in index.php is not properly
sanitised before being used to list directories. This can be
exploited to list the content of parent directories via directory
traversal sequences.

Successful exploitation allows disclosing the content of arbitrary
directories on Windows, and the content of the first two upper
directories on Linux.    

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.7.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
