School ERP Pro 1.0 – Arbitrary File Read

School ERP Pro 1.0 is vulnerable to an arbitrary file read vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request containing a maliciously crafted document parameter to the vulnerable download.php script. This can allow an attacker to read sensitive files from the server.

Mitigation:

The vendor should ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in file operations.
