PHP Project Management module def_lang and m_path parameters local file include
| phpprojectmanagement-module-file-include (37348) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
PHP Project Management could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to multiple scripts using the module, def_lang or m_path parameters to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.
