Discussion

FOG Forum Multiple Local File Include Vulnerabilities

FOG Forum is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view files and execute local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may aid in further attacks.

FOG Forum 0.8.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
