DESCRIPTION:
rgod has reported a vulnerability in phpWebSite, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "hub_dir" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly
verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local resources.

This can further be exploited to include arbitrary PHP scripts from
an external Windows share if the affected system is running PHP 5 on
Windows.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.10.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
