Description:
R3d.W0rm has discovered a vulnerability in nzFotolog, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "action_file" parameter in index.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.4.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

Provided and/or discovered by:
IRCRASH (R3d.W0rm)
