Description

Manx contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the /admin/admin_blocks.php script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via the 'fileName' parameter through the 'simplexml_load_file()' function. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to access arbitrary files.
