SA39615

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39615/

exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed via the "file" parameter to module.php (when "module" is
set to "HelpCenter") is not properly verified before being used to
include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from
local resources via directory traversal sequences.

also be affected.
