Directory traversal vulnerability in autohtml.php in Francisco Burzi PHP-Nuke 8.0 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the filename parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-4190. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
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.
