Contenido multiple parameters file include
| contenido-multiple-parameters-file-include (43103) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Contenido could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. If the allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include settings are enabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to multiple scripts using the contenido_path, the cfg[path][contenido], the cfg[path][templates] or the cfg[templates][right_top_blank] parameter to specify a malicious file from a remote system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
