---------------------------------------------------------------------- Use WSUS to deploy 3rd party patches Public BETA http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/wsus_3rd_third_party_patching/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Article Friendly "filename" File Inclusion Vulnerability SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA38715 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/38715/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Article Friendly, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information. Input passed to the "filename" parameter in admin/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes. Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. SOLUTION: Reportedly a patch has been released. Please contact the vendor for further information.
