Directory traversal vulnerability in parser/include/class.cache_phpcms.php in phpCMS 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter to parser/parser.php, as demonstrated by a filename ending with %00.gif, a different vector than CVE-2005-1840.
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.
