TITLE:
phpWebThings "module" Local File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35396

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35396/

DESCRIPTION:
br0ly has discovered a vulnerability in phpWebThings, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "module" parameter in help.php is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5.2 with the latest patch
applied. Other versions may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
