Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in ImageFolio allowing users to conduct directory traversal.
The problem is that the remove function doesn't verify user input allowing users to supply character sequences like "../". This allows malicious users to view contents of directories and remove files and directories which the process got write access to.
Further ImageFolio comes with a default account:
Username: Admin
Password: ImageFolio
Solution:
Make sure that you change the default password. Only allow access to the admin functions to users you trust. To add further security to the admin area it could be protected with .htaccess or similar.
The vendor have suggested some changes to improve security:
