An issue was discovered in Gazie 7.32. A successful installation does not remove or block (or in any other way prevent use of) its own file /setup/install/setup.php, meaning that anyone can request it without authentication. This file allows arbitrary PHP file inclusion via a hidden_req POST parameter.

Weakness

The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be.

Gazie Gazie_project 7.9 7.32

Extended Description

Web servers, FTP servers, and similar servers may store a set of files underneath a “root” directory that is accessible to the server’s users. Applications may store sensitive files underneath this root without also using access control to limit which users may request those files, if any. Alternately, an application might package multiple files or directories into an archive file (e.g., ZIP or tar), but the application might not exclude sensitive files that are underneath those directories. In cloud technologies and containers, this weakness might present itself in the form of misconfigured storage accounts that can be read or written by a public or anonymous user.
