=============================================

I. VULNERABILITY -------------------------
Local File Inclusion in Weathermap <= 0.97C

II. BACKGROUND -------------------------

Network Weathermap is a network visualisation tool, to take data you already have and show you an overview of your network in map form. Support is built in for RRD, MRTG (RRD and old log-format), and tab-delimited text files. Other sources are via plugins or external scripts.

III. DESCRIPTION -------------------------
Network Weathermap 0.97C and lower versions contain a flaw that allows a local file inclusion attack. This flaw exists because the application does not properly sanitise the parameter "mapname" in the editor.php file. This allows an attacker to create a specially crafted URL to include any ".config" file on the web server, you can bypass the ".config" restriction filter with a php bug.

the editor.php must be enabled to successfully exploit.

IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT -------------------------
LFI: http://server/editor.php?action=show_config&mapname=../../../../../../../../../etc/apache2/apache2.conf

V. BUSINESS IMPACT -------------------------
LFI: With a php bug we can include any file that the webserver has right to read, including sensitive config files ( php file too, because it's not executed but read with fopen) .

VI. SYSTEMS AFFECTED -------------------------
Network Weathermap 0.97C and lower versions

VII. SOLUTION -------------------------
sanitize correctly the mapname parameter.

TEMP SOLUTION : disable editor.php
