THoRCMS includes/functions_cms.php file include
| thorcms-functionscms-file-include (27375) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
THoRCMS could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the includes/functions_cms.php script using the phpbb_root_path parameter to specify a malicious file from a remote or local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code using a local file, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.
