Barnraiser Prairie is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Remote attackers can use specially crafted requests with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to access arbitrary images in the context of the application. This may aid in further attacks.
