| Detailed Description |
The Exponent CMS is vulnerable to a local file include vulnerability via the 'view' parameter. Exponent CMS is an open-source Web-based Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP. Exponent version 0.96.3 and earlier versions are vulnerable to a local file include vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'view' parameter of the 'index.php' script. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' and 'register_globals' settings, 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.
