This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows information disclosure and executing uploaded PHP scripts, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. 2) The admin/cpie.php script does not properly restrict access to logged-in users and can be exploited with an HTTP client that does not follow redirects to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.84. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.84. Use another product.
