WebCAF Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

WebCAF is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities:

- A remote command-execution vulnerability
- An arbitrary-file-deletion vulnerability
- Multiple local file-include vulnerabilities
- Additional unspecified vulnerabilities

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the webserver process, obtain sensitive information, or create denial-of-service conditions.

WebCAF 1.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
