→Send a GET request to /catalog.php with the 'filename' parameter set to a path traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd) and check for a 200 response containing the root:[x*]:0:0 pattern, indicating successful Local File Disclosure. ↗
→The vulnerable parameter is 'filename' in catalog.php; path traversal sequences (../) are not sanitized, enabling arbitrary local file read. ↗
