Checks for id parameter directory traversal vulnerability in FlatNuke Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. Description : The remote host is running FlatNuke, a content management system written in PHP and using flat files rather than a database for its storage. The version of FlatNuke installed on the remote host suffers fails to remove directory traversal sequences user input to the 'id' parameter of the 'index.php' script. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is enabled, a possible hacker can leverage this flaw to read arbitrary files on the remote host subject to the rights of the web server user id.
