Overview
cakephp/cakephp is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like Associative Data Mapping, Front Controller, and MVC.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to PHP Remote File Inclusion in the View::_getElementFileName() method, which does not verify that the resolved element path stays within the application or plugin view template directories. An attacker can include and execute other PHP files present on the server by placing directory traversal sequences in an element name. Exposure of files by inclusion is limited to PHP files already reachable on the filesystem.
