Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in (a) class/functions.php and (b) class/m_bro.php in AlternC 0.9.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to (1) create arbitrary files and directories via a .. (dot dot) in the "create name" field and (2) read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the "web root" field when configuring a subdomain.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-6259 affects AlternC 0.9.5 and earlier. A remote attacker could abuse directory traversal in web management fields to create files or directories outside intended paths and read files outside a configured web root. For a hosting control panel, that can mean exposure of sensitive local files or unauthorized changes to hosted content. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy AlternC installations at version 0.9.5 or earlier, especially internet-facing hosting control panels. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, current install prevalence, or supported-version details. Treat as high priority only where legacy AlternC is present. The vulnerability is old, but the affected software controls hosting file paths, so a still-exposed instance could create material confidentiality and integrity risk. Mitigation focus: Identify any AlternC installations and confirm exact version numbers.; Upgrade away from AlternC 0.9.5 or earlier using vendor guidance.; Review AlternC 0.9.6 milestone and linked vendor changesets for remediation context..
