Geeklog lib-common.php local file include
| geeklog-common-file-include (24776) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Geeklog could allow a remote attacker to include malicious local files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the lib-common.php script using the 'language' parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
