| Detailed Description |
The XOOPS program is vulnerable to multiple local file inclusion vulnerabilities. XOOPS is a dynamic object oriented based open source portal system written in PHP. XOOPS version 2.2.3 Final and possibly other versions could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'xoopsConfig[language]' parameter of several xoopseditor scripts. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary local files and even execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system. Successful exploitation requires that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled and possibly that 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.
