DESCRIPTION:
ck has discovered a vulnerability in openEngine, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "template" parameter in "website.php" isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include PHP scripts. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary PHP scripts from local resources.

This can further be exploited to e.g. disclose the content of
arbitrary files by including "../system/03_admin/edit/individual" and
defining the "include" parameter.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.7.1 and has also
been reported in version 1.8 Beta 2. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
