Directory traversal vulnerability in ls.php in LittleSite (aka LS or LittleSite.php) 0.1 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter to index.php. NOTE: in some environments, this can be leveraged for remote file inclusion by using a UNC share pathname or an ftp, ftps, or ssh2.sftp URL.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-3542 is a directory traversal and file inclusion flaw in LittleSite 0.1. A remote attacker may cause the application to include and execute local files. In some environments, the same issue may reach remote files through UNC or supported URL schemes. The main concern is legacy internet-facing deployments. Exposure is likely limited to legacy sites still running LittleSite 0.1 with index.php and ls.php reachable from untrusted users. The bundle does not provide CPEs, package metadata, or evidence of modern widespread deployment. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing legacy LittleSite instance exists. The product is old, affected metadata is sparse, and the vulnerability can cross from file read/include into code execution under some configurations. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any LittleSite 0.1 deployment.; Check original vendor or maintainer guidance for a fixed release.; Remove or block public access to vulnerable index.php and ls.php paths..
