What is CVE-2008-5752?

The Page Flip Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a directory traversal vulnerability when the 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled. This flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate the 'book_id' parameter, allowing them to access arbitrary files on the server. The risk lies in an attacker's ability to exploit the '..' (dot dot) syntax to traverse the directory structure, potentially exposing sensitive information and configuration files.
