Title: PHPMyFAQ Local File Include Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
phpMyFAQ is an Open Source FAQ manager web-application written in PHP.
PHPMyFAQ is prone to a local file include vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
A remote attacker can supply directory traversal strings followed by an arbitrary filename to the 'LANGCODE' parameter of 'index.php', and have the local file processed in an include() call.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary server-side script code that resides on an affected computer with the privileges of the Web server process. This may potentially facilitate unauthorized access.
It should be noted that this issue may also be leveraged to read arbitrary files on an affected computer with the privileges of the Web server.
