PHP-Generics "_APP_RELATIVE_PATH" Parameter PHP File Inclusion Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in PHP-Generics, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These issues are due to input validation errors in the "include.php", "dbcommon/include.php", and "exception/include.php" scripts when processing the "_APP_RELATIVE_PATH" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
