Oh, For Fucking Christ’ Sake… Another One.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently, some security researchers (because *someone* has to do the job of actual developers) found a critical vulnerability in Gladinet and TrioFox – two file sync and share apps. It’s an LFI (Local File Inclusion), which is basically letting anyone with half a brain read whatever files the damn server can access. And, predictably, it escalates to RCE (Remote Code Execution). Meaning? Someone can *own* your system. Like, completely.

The exploit chain involves abusing the LFI to read internal configuration files, then using that info to craft a payload and execute arbitrary code. They’re actively exploiting this shit in the wild – meaning it’s not just theoretical anymore. Patching is available (surprise, surprise), but you can bet your bottom dollar half of these companies won’t bother until their data gets ransomwared.

The researchers are blaming a specific PHP library for the initial vulnerability, which is nice deflection, but honestly? It’s still bad code. They’ve seen exploitation attempts targeting systems running unpatched versions. So if you use either of these apps, UPDATE NOW before some script kiddie wipes your server and replaces it with Rick Astley.

Honestly, the whole thing is just… pathetic. File sync? Seriously? Just stop using this garbage.

Read the full, excruciatingly detailed report here (if you *really* want to).

Speaking of pathetic security… I once had to babysit a server running an ancient version of PHP with so many vulnerabilities it was practically begging to be hacked. The sysadmin insisted on keeping it because “it just works.” It worked until it didn’t, then *I* had to clean up the mess. Don’t be that guy. Seriously.
