TITLE:
ImageFolio Directory Traversal and Default Password

READ ONLINE:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8964/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
ImageFolio 3.x

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been identified in ImageFolio allowing users to
conduct directory traversal.

The problem is that the remove function doesn't verify user input
allowing users to supply character sequences like "../". This allows
malicious users to view contents of directories and remove files and
directories which the process got write access to.

Further ImageFolio comes with a default account:
Username: Admin
Password: ImageFolio

SOLUTION:
Make sure that you change the default password. Only allow access to
the admin functions to users you trust. To add further security to
the admin area it could be protected with .htaccess or similar.

The vendor have suggested some changes to improve security:
