Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by an
information disclosure vulnerability.

Description :

The third-party Pagesetter module for PostNuke installed on the remote
host fails to sanitize input to the 'id' parameter before using it to
display a file in the function 'pagesetter_file_preview()' of the
script 'pnfile.php'. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this
issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host, subject to the
rights of the web server user id.
