Subject: bug#39563: temp files
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 11:32:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eb9fe5a7-cb4b-1433-3b04-3992edad717a@ipbeja.pt> (raw)
Hello!
if a user edits a php file using emacs directly at the webserver, emacs
automatically saves a temp file at the same location, for example the
user opens index.php, emacs stores a copy index.php~.
Therefore the code in that file is exposed. If an attacker tries to
access files like https://domain.com/index.php~ the server wont
interpret that file as php and presents it as plain text exposing the
source code.
I know this could be resolved with webserver configuration. But it is a
problem i just discovered and leaves me very unconfortable using emacs.
Maybe should be better the temp file beying stored like index~.php or
index.bck.php.
Thanks
