http://secunia.com/advisories/22734/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
phpManta 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/12552/

DESCRIPTION:
ajann has discovered a vulnerability in phpManta, which can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information.

Input passed to the "file" parameter in Mdoc/view-sourcecode.php is
not properly sanitised before being used to display files with syntax
highlighting. This can be exploited to gain access to arbitrary files
via directory traversal attacks.

Gaining access to files having other file extensions than ".php"
requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
