Directory traversal vulnerability in backend/template.php in Constructr CMS 3.02.5 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to create or read arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the edit_file parameter.
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.
