Flatnux Multiple Local File Inclusion and File Upload Vulnerabilities
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Flatnux, which could be exploited by attackers to disclose sensitive information or by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable web server.
The first issues are caused by input validation errors in various scripts (e.g. "sections/02_Flatforum/search.php") when processing user-supplied parameters (e.g. "module"), which could be exploited by attackers to include or disclose the contents of local files with the privileges of the web server.
The second vulnerability is caused due to input validation errors in the "include/xmldb.php" script that does not properly validate file extensions, which could be exploited by malicious users to upload malicious PHP files and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server.
