## Technical details

A local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the 'run' parameter of admin/task.php across C97net qEngine CMS, Kemana Directory, and Cart Engine products. Authenticated administrative users can inject directory traversal sequences (e.g., "../../") to include and read arbitrary files accessible to the web server process. The vulnerability requires valid admin credentials but allows disclosure of local files without code execution.
