PHP Web Explorer Local File Include Vulnerabilities
PHP Web Explorer is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view local files and execute local scripts within the context of the webserver process. A successful attack can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or gain unauthorized access to an affected computer in the context of the vulnerable server.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks. Additionally, access to sensitive files should be restricted.
