Vulnerability title: Arbitrary file read in dompdf CVE: CVE-2014-2383 Vendor: dompdf Product: dompdf Affected version: v0.6.0 Fixed version: v0.6.1 (partial fix) Reported by: Alejo Murillo Moyas Details: An arbitrary file read vulnerability is present on dompdf.php file that allows remote or local attackers to read local files using a special crafted argument. This vulnerability requires the configuration flag DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP to be enabled (which is disabled by default). Using PHP protocol and wrappers it is possible to bypass the dompdf's "chroot" protection (DOMPDF_CHROOT) which prevents dompdf from accessing system files or other files on the webserver. Please note that the flag DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE needs to be enabled. Command line interface: php dompdf.php php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=<PATH_TO_THE_FILE> Web interface: http://example/dompdf.php?input_file=php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=<PATH_TO_THE_FILE> Further details at: https://www.portcullis-security.com/security-research-and-downloads/security-advisories/cve-2014-2383/ Copyright: Copyright (c) Portcullis Computer Security Limited 2014, All rights reserved worldwide.
