NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream movabletype-opensource package and not the movabletype-opensource package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The default configuration of Movable Type before 4.38, 5.0x before 5.07, and 5.1x before 5.13 supports the "mt:Include file=" attribute, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files by leveraging the template-designer role.
