PhpWebFTP 3.2 Login Script



Summary 
===============================================
phpWebFTP enables connections to FTP servers, even behind a firewall not 
allowing traffic. phpWebFTP bypasses the firewall by making a FTP connection 
from your webserver to the FTP server and transfering the files to your 
webclient over the http protocol

===========================================

Issue :
Well I have found that most of the sites that use phpwebftp v3.2 > less  have a 
problem. The user login script is a javascript file called script.js. This file 
validates the user input in the logon box. But to my surprise this file is 
directly accessed by web browser . The  disclosure of the source code can help 
an attacker to trigger    code injections .

Exploit :
http://www.anysite.com/PhpWebFtp/include/script.js

Further a directory traversal is possible via malicious arguments passed on the 
web browser using POST Method relative to the path of phpWebftp ie. 
http://www.anysite.com/PhpWebFtp/index.php? .
