Description
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in index.php in XCMS 1.82 and earlier allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in (1) the s parameter to the admin page or (2) the pg parameter to an arbitrary module, as demonstrated by reading a password hash in a .dtb file under dati/membri/ or by executing embedded PHP code in images under uploads/avatar/.
