| Detailed Description |
The phptonuke.php script in the PHP-Nuke allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.
myPHPNuke is a freely available PHP-based content management system. The version 1.8.8 of myPHPNuke can disclose unauthorized system files, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input. To exploit this vulnerability, a remote attacker can send a specially-crafted URL request to the phptonuke.php script to view readable system files as the follow:
http://[targetserver]/phptonuke.php?filnavn=/etc/passwd
It can allow the server to disclose the content of the ' /etc/passwd' file. This information could be used by the attacker to launch further attacks against the affected system.
