Social Engine v2.0 – Local File Inclusion

This exploit allows an attacker to include local files on the server by manipulating the 'global_lang' parameter in various PHP files. By injecting a local file path and the null byte (%00) at the end of the parameter, the attacker can access sensitive files on the server.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user input and avoid passing user-supplied data directly to file inclusion functions. Additionally, access controls should be implemented to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive files.
