Content2Web 1.0.1 allows remote file inclusion via show parameter

CVE-2005-3017 · published 21 years ago
Summary

The Content2Web version 1.0.1 website software lets an attacker send specially crafted data in the 'show' field of index.php, causing the server to load any file it can reach. This can expose internal file paths, reveal database errors, and inject malicious scripts into users' browsers. Apply any available updates from the vendor and ensure that inputs to the 'show' parameter are strictly validated or disabled.
