Mantis t_core_path file include

mantis-tcorepath-file-include (22886) The risk level is classified as MediumMedium Risk

Description:

Mantis could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files. If the register_globals variable is enabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php script that uses the t_core_path parameter to specify a malicious file from a remote system which would allow the attacker to execute code on the vulnerable system.
