| Detailed Description |
The phpWebSite is vulnerable to a local file include vulnerability via the 'hub_dir' parameter. phpWebSite provides an open-source based web site content management system (CMS) written in PHP. phpWebSite version 0.10.2 and earlier versions are vulnerable to a local file include vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'hub_dir' parameter of the 'index.php' script. If 'register_globals' setting is enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP script code on the vulnerable system in the security context of the Web server process.
