A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in FOG FOG Forum 0.8.1 (Forum Software). Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the file index.php. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in index.php in FOG Forum 0.8.1 allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) fog_lang and (2) fog_skin parameters, probably related to libs/required/share.inc; and possibly the (3) fog_pseudo, (4) fog_posted, (5) fog_password, and (6) fog_cook parameters.
