Simplicity oF Upload language Parameter File Include Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for language parameter file include vulnerability in Simplicity oF Upload

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from a
remote file include issue.

Description :

The remote host is running Simplicity oF Upload, a free PHP script to
manage file uploads.

The version of Simplicity oF Upload installed on the remote host fails
to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'language' parameter of the
'download.php' script. By leveraging this flaw, a possible hacker may be
able to view arbitrary files on the remote host and execute arbitrary
PHP code, possibly contained in files uploaded using the affected
application itself.
