Comments
Christey> Since EZShopper is written in Perl, there is strong evidence | that both the .. and metacharacter attack probably go | through the same insecure open() call. (Perl"s open can | either read a regular file, or read piped output from | a command that is specified to the open). | Frech> XF:ezshopper-loadpage-cgi(4044)
