A standard attack on a web site is usually that of identifying and abusing badly written CGI scripts. Anything that gives read access to the file system is a security hole, letting people get at the code behind the site, often including database passwords and other sensitive data, plus of course there are the core parts of the underlying platform, which may contain important information: passwords, credit card lists, user-private information, and the like. Unauthorized access to this data can be embarrasing and expensive.
Having write access to the system leads to even greater abuses; defaced web sites may be created, spoof endpoints written to capture caller's data, or the database directly manipulated.
