Description

Wikipad contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the pages.php script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via the 'id' parameter. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to access arbitrary .txt files. A further vulnerability also allows for manipulation of these files.
