Yes, but your can also read theses files if you have an account on sourceforge.net (and it's easy to get one), so that's not a very big vulnerability. And the vulnerability does not come from sourceforge, but from the "Smart BootManager" project's webpage hosted on sourceforge. Anyway, it might be a good idea for them to correct this :) It could allow someone with an account on sourceforge to put some files on it and include them on their website to have fake pages for example. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
