------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

 <http://www.alstrasoft.com/epay.htm> EPay Pro is "the ultimate software 
solution for those who wish to run their own  Paypal, Stormpay, or e-gold 
type of online business. Epay Pro comes with a ready out of the box 
website with all the features you need to run your own payment gateway 
system".

Alstrasoft Epay Pro has been found to be vulnerable to a directory 
traversal vulnerability, allowing remote attackers to access sensitive 
information on the vulnerable system.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * Epay Pro versions 2.0 and prior

EPay's Pro vulnerability caused by an improper validation of user-supplied 
input.

A remote attacker could embed in the index.php etc/passwd containing 
embedded code in the payment or send parameter which, once the link is 
clicked, would be executed to see passwords within the security context of 
the hosting server. An attacker could use this vulnerability to see all 
the victim's password authentication credentials.

http://targeturl/index.php?read=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
