Directory traversal vulnerability in Task Manager in Invision Power Board (IP.Board) 2.0.1 allows limited remote attackers to include files via a .. (dot dot) in the "Task PHP File To Run" field.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
