Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in CMScout 2.06, when register_globals is enabled, allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the bit parameter to (1) admin.php and (2) index.php, different vectors than CVE-2008-3415.
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.
