Assigner: VulDB

Description
A flaw has been found in DataTables up to 1.10.13. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /examples/resources/examples.php. This manipulation of the argument src causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.10.15 is sufficient to fix this issue. Patch name: 3b24f99ac4ddb7f9072076b0d07f0b1a408f177a. Upgrading the affected component is advised. This vulnerability was initially reported for code-projects Faculty Management System but appears to affect DataTables as an upstream component instead. The vendor of DataTables explains: "I would suggest that the author upgrade to the latest versions of DataTables (actually, they shouldn't really be deploying that file to their own server at all - it is only relevant for the DataTables examples)."

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a flaw in DataTables up to version 1.10.13 involving an unknown function in the file /examples/resources/examples.php. It allows an attacker to manipulate the 'src' argument to perform a path traversal attack remotely. This means an attacker can potentially access files and directories outside the intended scope by exploiting this flaw. The issue is fixed by upgrading to version 1.10.15.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact you by allowing a remote attacker to perform path traversal, potentially accessing sensitive files on the server that should not be accessible. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of information. However, the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, only confidentiality to some extent.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade DataTables to version 1.10.15 or later. Avoid deploying the /examples/resources/examples.php file on your server, as it is only relevant for DataTables examples and contains the vulnerable function.
