DESCRIPTION:
Dj7xpl has discovered a vulnerability in Scorp Book, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "config" parameter in smilies.php is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local or remote resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified or set
the path to config.php directly.
Use another product.
