Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Monster Top List, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "root_path" parameter in "sources/functions.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
2) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user via error messages. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.4. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply patch.
