McGallery 0.5b lets attackers read any file via download.php

CVE-2007-1478 · published 19 years ago
Summary

The download.php page in McGallery version 0.5b lets anyone who knows the web address request any file on the server by changing the file name in the URL. This can reveal the program’s own code and any other files stored on the server, potentially exposing confidential information. Protect the site by applying the vendor’s update, removing or restricting the download.php file, and limiting who can access it.
