LAM has Authenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) in PDF export
Summary
LAM has Authenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) in PDF export
Original description
The description as published by the source.
LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a webfrontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. Prior to version 9.5, a local file inclusion was detected in the PDF export that allows users to include local PHP files and this way execute code. In combination with GHSA-88hf-2cjm-m9g8 this allows to execute arbitrary code. Users need to login to LAM to exploit this vulnerability. Version 9.5 fixes the issue. Although upgrading is recommended, a workaround would be to make /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config read-only for the web-server user and delete the PDF profile files (making PDF exports impossible).
