Input passed to the "absolutepath" parameter in various scripts is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and remote resources. Example: http://[host]/classes/admin_o.php?absolutepath=[file] Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
