PHPBuilder "filename" Parameter Handling Remote Directory Traversal Vulnerability


Description   A vulnerability has been identified in PHPBuilder, which could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files on a vulnerable system. This issue is due to input validation errors in the "lib/htm2php.php" and "sitetools/htm2php.php" scripts that do not validate the "filename" parameter, which could be exploited by malicious people to disclose the contents of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.
