This can be exploited to gain knowledge of sensitive information (e.g. user names and password hashes) by requesting the file directly. 2) Input passed to the "lang" parameter in calendar.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and external resources. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that "register_globals" is enabled. These vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.2.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified. Move the user database out of the web root.
