CVE-2005-4852
Overview
CVE-2005-4852 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting ez ez_publish. It was published on December 31, 2005.
Technical Description
The siteaccess URIMatching implementation in eZ publish 3.5 through 3.8 before 20050812 converts all non-alphanumeric characters in a URI to '_' (underscore), which allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions by inserting certain characters in a URI, as demonstrated by a request for /admin:de, which matches a rule allowing only /admin_de to access /admin.
Remediation
