Summary

SimplePie through 1.9.0 contains a local file read vulnerability that allows malicious feed servers to read server files by supplying file:// URLs in redirects or autodiscovery links. Attackers can return a Location header or feed link pointing to a file:// path, causing file_get_contents() to read files accessible to the web server process.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can read sensitive files from the server, such as configurations or credentials, potentially leading to further compromise. The risk affects applications using SimplePie to process untrusted feeds.

Recommendation

Upgrade SimplePie to a version newer than 1.9.0 if available, or apply file access restrictions for the web server process. Consider validating and blocking file:// URLs in feeds.
