Simple PHP Blog install05.php file include
| simplephpblog-install05-file-include (25322) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Simple PHP Blog could allow a remote attacker to include malicious files. If install05.php has not been removed and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the install05.php script using directory traversal sequences and a NULL byte character in the blog_language parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
