**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
QuickTalk forum version 1.3
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) sequence in the `lang` parameter to specific API endpoints, such as "/qtf checkname.php", "/qtf j birth.php", or "/qtf j exists.php".
**Recommendations**
For QuickTalk forum version 1.3, consider restricting access to the `lang` parameter in the affected API endpoints until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, disabling the execution of files from arbitrary locations may help mitigate the risk.
