Discussion

OpenX CVE-2013-3514 Multiple Local File Include Vulnerabilities

OpenX is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit these issues using directory-traversal strings to view files and execute local script code in the context of the web server process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application; other attacks are also possible.

Note: Exploiting these issues requires administrative privileges, but it can also be exploited through cross-site request forgery vectors by a remote non-authenticated attacker.

OpenX 2.8.10 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
