SAPID Blog "root_path" Parameter Handling Remote PHP File Inclusion Vulnerability


Description   A vulnerability has been identified in SAPID Blog, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This flaw is due to input validation errors in various scripts (e.g. "usr/extensions/get_tree.inc.php") that fail to validate the "root_path" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious files and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
