exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed via the "file" parameter in mod.php (when "mod" is set
to "html" and "modfile" is set to "show") is not properly verified
before being used to display files. This can be exploited to display
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
attacks.

Successful exploitation may require that the script runs on a Windows
