Description: NeXtMaN has reported some vulnerabilities in aeDating, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "dir[inc]" parameter in inc/design.inc.php and inc/admin_design.inc.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or remote resources.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 4.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
aeDating is no longer supported by the vendor. The vendor recommends installing their product Dolphin instead. Dolphin version 5.6.0004 does not have these vulnerabilities.
