-\\Vulnerable:
TXTshop TXTshop  1.0b



-\\Discussion
TXTshop is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to access potentially  sensitive information and execute arbitrary local scripts in the context  of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying computer; other attacks are also possible.

TXTshop 1.0b is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.



-\\Exploit(s)/PoC(s):
Attackers can exploit this issue via a browser.

The following example URI is available:

http://www.example.com/ADMIN/header.php?language=/../../../../../etc/passwd%00
