Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll in the ionCube Loader 6.5 extension for PHP 5.2.4 does not follow safe_mode and disable_functions restrictions, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended limitations, as demonstrated by reading arbitrary files via the ioncube_read_file function.
