Detailed Description |
The Virtual Hosting Control System (VHCS) is vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability in the 'sql.php' script. Virtual Hosting Control System (VHCS) is an open-source server control system for web hosting solutions and automation software. VHCS version 2.2 and possible other versions are vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'include_path' parameter of the '/include/sql.php' script. If the register_globals is enabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands on the affected host.
