| Detailed Description |
The Pivot software is vulnerable to a Remote File Include Vulnerability in 'module_db.php' file.
Pivot is an application that is used to create Weblogs without the assistance of a database. Several versions of Pivot contain the vulnerability that can allow a remote attacker to include any file and php code, caused by a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before including it as a parameter to a file include function call. By sending a specially-crafted URL request to the module_db.php file using the path variable to specify a malicious file from a remote system as a parameter, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system with Local System privileges.
