phpListPro language parameter file include
| phplistpro-language-file-include (26621) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
phpListPro could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files from the local system. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the config.php script containing "dot dot" sequences in the 'Language' cookie parameter and appended with a NULL byte character (%00) to specify a known file on the local system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or view arbitrary files on the system.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.
