Description:
FraMe has reported a vulnerability in VHCS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "include_path" parameter in "gui/include/sql.php" isn't properly sanitised, 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.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
