Hi everyone

I got some strange database errors this morning which seemed to emanate from the vbimagehosting mod. I'm not sure if it is anything to be concerned about as I've got no idea what it all means, but maybe someone has found a security flaw in the mod? These are a few of the errors I was receiving, take note of the end of the url's.

Code:

http://*****.com/vbimghost.php?do=userlist&pp=20&page=/etc/passwd

Code:

http://*****.com/vbimghost.php?do=userlist&pp=20&page=/../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

Code:

http://*****.com/vbimghost.php?do=userlist&pp=20&page=/etc/passwd%00

Code:

http://*****.com/vbimghost.php?do=userlist&pp=20&page=/proc/self/environ%00

Should I be worried? To me it looks like someone is trying to access passwords or something?

Thanks.
