Forum 5 Local File-Include Vulnerability
Forum 5 is prone to a local file-include vulnerability. The application fails to sanitize user input when executing the script. In particular the script fails to check for the presence of a directory-traversal sequence ('../'). A successful exploit may allow unauthorized users to view files and to execute local scripts; other attacks are also possible.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks.
