QuickTalk Forum "lang" Parameter Processing Local File Inclusion Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in QuickTalk Forum, which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information. These issues are caused by input validation errors in the "qtf_checkname.php", "qtf_j_birth.php" and "qtf_j_exists.php" scripts when processing the "lang" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include or disclose the contents of arbitrary files with the privileges of the web server.
