         $template_html = load_template($template);
         ...

         't' argument is passed to load_template() function without checks

         see load_template() function in /modules/module_parser.php - lines 778-797

         ...
         function load_template($basename) {
       global $template_cache, $Paths;

       $filename = $Paths['templates_path'].$basename;

       if (isset($template_cache[$basename])) {
        return $template_cache[$basename];
       } else {

      if (!(file_exists($filename))) {
       $filename = $Paths['templates_path']."entrypage_template.html";
    }
            $filetext=implode("", file($filename)); // <----------------------------|_ lol !!!

    $template_cache[$basename]=$filetext;

    return $filetext;
   }

        }
        ...

        our argument is passed to a file() function, so, regardless of php settings,
        we can see php files at screen trough directory traversal attacks, including the
        configuration file (pv_cfg_settings.php), which cointains the admin credentials
        (username/md5 hash/sessions...)

        note: 't' can be passed as GET or POST
