DESCRIPTION:
AmnPardaz Security Research Team has discovered a vulnerability in
phpList, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

Input passed to the "_SERVER[ConfigFile]" parameter in
admin/index.php is not properly verified before being used to include
files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is
disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.10.8. Other versions may
also be affected.
