DeltahackingTEAM has reported a vulnerability in awrate.com Message Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "toroot" parameter within login.php.inc is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources.

Examples:
http://[host]/search.php?toroot=[file]
http://[host]/index.php?toroot=[file]

NOTE: Reportedly more files are affected.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
