PHP AdminPanel 'download.php' Directory Traversal Vulnerability

PHP AdminPanel is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can use a specially crafted request with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to download arbitrary files in the context of the application. Information obtained could aid in further attacks.

PHP AdminPanel 1.0.5 Free edition is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
