GL-SH Deaf Board Version <= 6.4.4 local file inclusion
This exploit allows an attacker to include local files on the server by manipulating the FORUM_LANGUAGE and style parameters in the functions.php and bottom.php files respectively. By using a relative path traversal, the attacker can access sensitive files such as /etc/passwd.
Mitigation:
The vendor should release a patch to sanitize user input and prevent directory traversal attacks. In the meantime, users should ensure that the GL-SH Deaf Board software is not accessible from untrusted networks.
