CVE-2019-15952
An authenticated user with the Pages privilege can conduct a path traversal attack (../) to include .html files that are outside the permitted directory.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An issue was discovered in Total.js CMS 12.0.0. An authenticated user with the Pages privilege can conduct a path traversal attack (../) to include .html files that are outside the permitted directory. Also, if a page contains a template directive, then the directive will be server side processed. Thus, if a user can control the content of a .html file, then they can inject a payload with a malicious template directive to gain Remote Command Execution. The exploit will work only with the .html extension.
