CVE-2008-5965 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in LokiCMS versions 0.3.4 and earlier. When the magic_quotes_gpc setting is disabled, remote attackers can exploit this flaw by manipulating the "page" parameter in index.php with ".." sequences to check for the existence of arbitrary files on the server. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity, as it allows for information disclosure (checking file existence) without requiring authentication or complex attack methods. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-6737) confirms the availability of exploit code, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
