http://secunia.com/advisories/22040/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
CakePHP 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
James Bercegay has reported a vulnerability in CakePHP, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "file" parameter in js/vendors.php isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a "readfile()" call. This can be
exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory
traversal attacks.

Example:
http://[host]/js/vendors.php?file=../../../../[file]%00foobar.js

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.1.7.3363. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.8.3544.
