cakephp/cakephp is vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output
19
Low Risk
This Affects:
cakephp/cakephpTL;DR
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to improper output encoding or escaping. The issue stems from using PATH_INFO instead of REQUEST_URI. Since PATH_INFO includes URL-decoded values, encoded URLs may improperly match routes they should not, leading to security risks. This flaw allows characters like %2f to bypass routing restrictions, potentially exposing unintended resources. Switching to REQUEST_URI ensures proper handling of encoded URLs and mitigates this vulnerability.
