Cms Made Simple Path Traversal

An issue was discovered in CMS Made Simple 2.2.8. It is possible to achieve unauthenticated path traversal in the CGExtensions module (in the file action.setdefaulttemplate.php) with the m1_filename parameter; and through the action.showmessage.php file, it is possible to read arbitrary file content (by using that path traversal with m1_prefname set to cg_errormsg and m1_resettodefault=1). (2021-09-17, CVE-2019-9060)

In CMS Made Simple 2.2.7, a Directory Traversal issue makes it possible to determine the existence of files and directories outside the web-site installation directory, and determine whether a file has contents matching a specified checksum. The attack uses an admin/checksum.php?__c= request. (2018-04-23, CVE-2018-9921)

CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) through 2.2.7 contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the admin dashboard via directory traversal sequences in the val parameter within a cmd=del request, because code under modules\FilePicker does not restrict the val parameter. (2018-04-13, CVE-2018-10083)

Relative Path Confusion means that your web server is configured to serve responses to ambiguous URLs. This configuration can possibly cause confusion about the correct relative path for the URL. It is also an issue of resources, such as images, styles etc., which are specified in the response using relative path, not the absolute URL.

If the web browser permits to parse "cross-content" response, the attacker may be able to fool the web browser into interpreting HTML into other content types, which can then lead to a cross site scripting attack (link do XSS).
