Input passed to the "level" parameter in Shared/controller/text.ctrl.php and UserMan/controller/common.function.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
