Zero X has discovered a vulnerability in Anaconda Foundation
Directory, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

Input passed to the "template" parameter in "apexec.pl" isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources, which can
disclose sensitive information.

Example:

The vulnerability has been confirmed on version 1.10 (2002-03-06).
