PlutoStatus Locator Local File Include Vulnerability

PlutoStatus Locator is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to include local files in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information; other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks.
