212cafe WebBoard Directory Traversal Vulnerability

212cafe WebBoard is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Remote attackers can use a specially crafted request with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to retrieve and read arbitrary files in the context of the webserver. Information harvested may aid in launching further attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks.
