It can be exploited by Directory Traversal - Local File Include (LFI) attacks. A local file inclusion (LFI) flaw is due to the script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically path traversal style attacks (e.g. '../../') supplied to the parameters. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can include arbitrary files from the targeted host or from a remote host . This may allow disclosing file contents or executing files like PHP scripts. Such attacks are limited due to the script only calling files already on the target host. Several other NetCat products 0-day vulnerabilities have been found by some other bug hunter researchers before. NetCat has patched some of them.
