CGIForum 1.0 has a security flaw allowing file access with "nobody" privileges via section parameter.

Code
`Hi,  
  
Date: 2000/11/20  
Affected Application: CGIForum 1.0

CGIForum is a free forum. We can set 'thesection' parameter to view  
files on the vulnerable system with privileges of the user "nobody".  
  
This is caused from OutputHTMLFile function in cgiforum.pl script where $section (= $thesection ) isn't checked (never besides in this script).  
  
e.g.:  
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/cgiforum.pl?thesection=../../../../../../etc/passwd%00  
  
The author is informed.
