CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The emUnZip() function in Emlog versions 2.6.29 and earlier is vulnerable to directory traversal due to insufficient validation of ZIP entry paths, allowing attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on the server, including critical configuration files like config.php, which can lead to remote code execution. Organizations using affected versions of Emlog should prioritize remediation efforts, as there are currently no known patches available to address this vulnerability.

Original NVD Description

Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.6.29 and prior, the emUnZip() function extracts all ZIP entries via ZipArchive::extractTo() without validating entry paths for ../ traversal sequences. Only the first entry's subdirectory structure is checked. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the server filesystem, including config.php for immediate RCE. At time of publication, there are no publicly known patches.
