Input passed to the "skin" parameter in index.php and install.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks. Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.11. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
