What is CVE-2016-10400?

A directory traversal vulnerability exists in ATutor before version 2.2.2, where an attacker can manipulate the 'icon' parameter in /mods/_core/courses/users/create_course.php to access arbitrary files on the server. By exploiting this vulnerability through the get_course_icon.php?id= parameter, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive files, potentially leading to information disclosure. It is essential for users of affected versions to upgrade to the latest release to mitigate this risk.
