Product:
===============================

==============================
sqlbuddy suffers from directory traversal whereby a user can move about directories an read any PHP and non PHP files by appending
the '#' hash character when requesting files via URLs.

After adding the '#' character as a delimiter any non PHP will be returned and rendered by subverting the .php concatenation used
by sqlbuddy when requesting PHP pages via POST method.

1-Read from Apache restricted directory under htdocs:
  http://localhost/sqlbuddy/#page=../../../restricted/user_pwd.sql#

2-Read any arbitrary files that do not have .PHP extensions:
  http://localhost/sqlbuddy/#page=../../../directory/sensitive-file.conf#
