CodeDB list.php file include
| codedb-list-file-include (43761) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
CodeDB could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the list.php script using the lang parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
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.
