Description:
David 'Aesthetico' Vieira-Kurz has reported a vulnerability in dotWidget CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "file_path" parameter in "index.php", "feedback.php", and "printfriendly.php" is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including PHP files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
