What is CVE-2018-19246?
CVE-2018-19246 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in n/a, published on 13 Nov 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
PHP-Proxy 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to read local files if the default "pre-installed version" (intended for users who lack shell access to their web server) is used. This occurs because the aeb067ca0aa9a3193dce3a7264c90187 app_key value from the default config.php is in place, and this value can be easily used to calculate the authorization data needed for local file inclusion.
Weakness: CWE-200
