Written by Marcelo Almeida (Vympel)

A vulnerability has been reported in various Horde products, which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose sensitive information and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "theme" parameter is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources, using directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes ("%00").

NOTE: Other attack vectors are also reported to exist...

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires valid user credentials.

The vulnerability is confirmed in Horde Application Framework 3.1.6 and also reported in Horde Groupware 1.0.4 and Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.0.5. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to Horde Application Framework 3.1.7, Horde Groupware 1.0.5, or Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.0.6.
