Impact
======
A missing file path validation allows an authenticated user with permission
to add or edit products to read any file on the file system without permissions.



Issue Description
=================
While conducting an internal evaluation of the software, LSE Leading
Security Experts GmbH discovered a path traversal vulnerability in the product
downloads function. A user with permissions to change or add products may change
the Downloads name to a local file (e.g. "../../../config.inc.php"). This may lead
to a privilege escalation.




Temporary Workaround and Fix
============================
Install latest update 4.9.8/5.2.8
See http://wiki.oxidforge.org/Downloads/4.9.8_5.2.8


Proof of Concept
================
Create a new product in the backend. In the "Downloads" tab set "name of the uploaded
file" to "../../../config.inc.php". Go to the frontend and buy the related product.
Move to "My account" and choose the download section. Download the file and enjoy
full database credentials.
