Discussion
phpAbook Cookie Local File Include Vulnerability
phpAbook is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to access potentially sensitive information and execute arbitrary scripts or PHP code in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying computer; other attacks are also possible.
Versions up to and including phpAbook 0.8.8b are vulnerable.
