What is CVE-2007-0205?
CVE-2007-0205 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Jan 2007. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Directory traversal vulnerability in admin/skins.php for @lex Guestbook 4.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to create files in arbitrary directories via ".." sequences in the (1) aj_skin and (2) skin_edit parameters. NOTE: this can be leveraged for file inclusion by creating a skin file in the lang directory, then referencing that file via the lang parameter to index.php, which passes a sanity check in livre_include.php.
