Description

SiteBar contains a flaw that allows a REMOTE attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the SCRIPT not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via the dir parameter. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to retrieve arbitrary files.
