PlutoStatus Locator 1.0pre alpha - 'index.php' Local File Inclusion

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27802/info

PlutoStatus Locator is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to include local files in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information; other attacks are also possible.

This issue affects PlutoStatus Locator 1.0pre alpha; other versions may also be affected.
