Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Stefan Ott phpcksec version 0.2.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories and read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the file parameter. This is due to an absolute path traversal vulnerability in the phpcksec.php file.

Recommendations For version 0.2.0, avoid using the file parameter with full pathnames until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the phpcksec.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
