Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PHPcounter versions 1.3.2 and earlier
Description A directory traversal issue exists when the magic quotes gpc setting is disabled, allowing remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) sequence in the l parameter.
