F3Site 2009 lets attackers run local files

CVE-2009-4435 · published 16 years ago
Summary

The 2009 version of F3Site can be tricked into loading files from the server’s own file system when a specially crafted request is sent to certain pages. This could let an attacker execute code or view sensitive data stored on the server. Update to a patched version or apply the vendor’s recommended configuration changes to block these requests.
