  • Detect HTTP requests to editor.php with 'action=show_config' and a 'mapname' parameter containing directory traversal sequences (../).
  • Monitor for requests to editor.php where the mapname parameter contains dot-dot sequences to traverse outside the web root, particularly targeting sensitive files such as /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
  • Alert on the presence of editor.php being accessible/enabled on the web server, as exploitation requires it to be enabled.
  • Watch for file read attempts on non-.config files via the mapname parameter, as the .config restriction filter can be bypassed using a PHP bug.
  • ·The vulnerability only affects instances where editor.php is enabled and accessible; disabling it is a temporary mitigation.
  • ·The .config file extension restriction in the mapname parameter can be bypassed via a PHP bug, allowing inclusion of arbitrary file types readable by the web server (including PHP source files, which are read rather than executed).
